Featured Aurora
Howdy Folks,
As I embark on my second decade (11th year) as a full-time self-employed photographer I want to take this opportunity, as always, to Thank You.
You continually keep me inspired to follow my mission statement:
Be There - Preserve the Moment - Share It!
I just overheard a customer say that my photos were a "play on light." I'd like to emphasize the word play... and light (!)... with my four New Releases and two Retro-Releases.
Cheers!
New Releases:
Denali Fireweed
The top of the fireweed was in bloom around Reflection Pond indicating that summer was past the midway point but still in full swing. Dragonflies buzzed through the air doing their best to keep the mosquito population in check. Birds flitted about singing their melodious tunes.
"Wrangell Eruption"
Auroras erupt over Mt. Blackburn
in the Wrangell Mountains near Kenny Lake.

Forty below, 2am, February 28, 2007
Mythbuster: it does not have to be cold for the auroras to
form, it usually just is when it’s clear enough to see them.
"Denali Duo"
Two aurora bands electrify the sky above
moonlit Denali (Mt. McKinley) and
the Chulitna River - Late October.
Parks Hwy - new Milepost 135 Viewpoint.
My first black & white & sepia-tone aurora shot.
"Blue Wonder"
You Don’t Go to Denali - Denali Comes to You.
Denali (Mt. McKinley) reflecting on Wonder Lake -
The wind died, the clouds parted…twilight ambiance.
Summer all-night-long "magic hour"
July 25, 2007 around 3am
"Fireweed Lane"
Kenai Peninsula NW of Homer
- August peak Fireweed bloom -
Fireweed regenerates soil after fires.
Brilliant floral essence also regenerates soul.
Retro-Releases
"The Phoenix"
The "corona effect" - looking straight up into the aurora.

"Divine Light"
Rare pink auroras streaming through a full moon ~
Lying on my back looking straight up ~

Totally mesmerized!
There's just something about looking at the "Divine Light"
