Howdy Folks,

This summer I embark on my 14th year as a full-time freelance photographer. Thank you for the continued support!

We are finally coming out of the low of the solar cycle and aurora activity is starting to pick up. Within the first four months of this year–January through April 2010–I saw the northern lights on 28 nights. That's almost one out of four nights! There is hope.

Solar Cycle, May 2010

Although the lights were still fairly rare around the Anchorage, AK latitude (62° N) they were definitely percolating around Fairbanks (65° N). I also had an aurora-filled experience above the Arctic Circle in the Brooks Range in March so please stay tuned in November for new aurora photo releases.

Presently, this is the time of year we embrace the season of lightness. Summer in Alaska, Land of the Midnight Sun, is anything but dark so we will have to wait until August before the stars are visible and the auroras once again grace our skies. Until then, it’s time to enjoy some daytime photography so we have come out with a 2010 New Release titled "Sky Blue Pink." My life would not be the same without Denali.
