Hey Folks, No prizes for guessing where I’m headed for the start of the summer season! The beach, of course, at Icy Bay, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park. Funnest place ever! Mt. St. Elias towering above us all in the background! Cheers Carl
Hey Folks How glassy is “glassy”? Here’s a short clip I put together of clips I made playing with a new GoPro last summer. It’s so different to shooting with a regular camera or video camera, there’s a lot to learn. But kinda fun, all the same. Icy Bay isn’t always this glassy, but it’s […]
Hey Folks Here are few images from our sea kayaking trip to Icy Bay last summer. Awesome conditions, we had a blast. Icy Bay is one of the coolest areas for sea kayaking in Alaska; great camping, great beach hiking, spectacular scenery and absolutely unparalleled sea kayaking and paddling. Icebergs, glaciers, seals, dolphins, brown bears, […]
Hey Folks Now that summer and fall has wound down some, I’ve got a little time to catch up on image processing and maybe blogging as well! We’ll see how far we get with that. One of the trips I was really looking forward to this summer was a hike along the coast, the southern […]
Hey Folks, So one question I’m frequently asked about pertains to hiking poles, or trekking poles, and how important or useful they are for backpacking here in Alaska. In short, I’d suggest they’re more than useful, almost mandatory. Of course, few things in the mountains are ever so objective; the mountains are a subjective place, […]
Hey Folks, A quick post from the eastern edge of Alaska’s Chugach Mountains, near Iceberg lake in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Camping in a place like this is a real treat, even more so when the weather is this superb. Awesome place. Cheers Carl
Hey Folks, What an awesome area; Malaspina Lake, near Malaspina Glacier and Icy Bay. We spent nearly 2 weeks down here, hiking and packrafting and sea kayaking along the Lost Coast and Icy Bay. This day was a memorable one, spending the afternoon paddling around Malaspina Lake in our Packrafts. Had a bit of a […]
Hey Folks, We’ve had some stupendous weather here in Alaska this last few weeks, and I was lucky enough to get out and about for some photography. Here’s a shot from my favorite park, Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve one gorgeous bluebird day. It just doesn’t get much better than this! Hopefully this weather […]
Hey Folks, Winter in Alaska is a fun time; it’s a hard time for a photographer because we have to choose between shooting during the day time, and waiting out the nights for the northern lights. And then switching schedules back and forth as the weather and the northern lights predictions change. So the last […]
Hey Folks, It’s January, and Alaska snowshoe and ski trips can be a rough place to sleep outside during this time of year. Temperatures can easily be down below zero F, even into the minus 30’s and 40’s, or colder. So sleeping outside is not to be taken lightly. Bring a good sleeping bag. A […]
