I love how both of the dogs are standing the same way and facing the same direction. Plus, taking photos like this while on skiis is a good way to crash, so I think this photo deserves some credit! :-)

I was walking the dogs today and saw this old truck buried in the snow. I really liked the colors of blue and rust and the red chain, and especially the way the parking light shines with the blue hue.

Our little orphan moose came into our yard this morning, had some food and took a nap.

An old photo of fish camp... I got some photos of our skijoring trip yesterday, but there was nothing special.

So many good photos from our ride up into the mountains, but I can only choose one! I picked this one because when I shifted it from color to black and white, the trees really stood out. It also toned down the brightness of the snow.
Ok, one more...

I'm not usually one for human portraiture, but I liked this one of Randy, with the snow falling around him.

I have been taking photos of cans that I find in the snow, in hopes that I will have enough to make a collage, in the future.

This is a photo from our trip to Sedona, Arizona, one of the "energy spots" on the earth. The red rocks and clear blue sky were spectacular.

A friend's dachshund, Taylor. I love how she is holding that big tennis ball and the kitchen towers around her, but she still portrays a big personality to the camera.

Went over to Knik and took some photos of the Chugach. This photo searching adventure was a good cure for cabin fever...

I am normally not for altering photos with extreme editing, but this was a good exercise in using the program. I took a very plain scene and graduated the tint from the top of the photo, and also colorized the sky. I like the outcome and this turned a very bland photo into something more eyecatching.
I do still have moral issues with severely editing photos, but practicing with the editing tools is useful for any photographer.

I did take some shots today, but wasn't pleased with any of the results. I need to work on low light shooting more to get anything worth putting on here, so I figured today would be a good day to post my favorite photo.
This is a shot of my sled dogs when we lived up on Godwin Glacier, above Seward, Alaska. The only way to get up there was by helicopter, and it was an awesome experience.
This photo is definately worth clicking on, to see enlarged.

I took this photo of Chuck while working on shooting from low angles. This method really agreed with the midday lighting and I really like how a soft focus draws the attention to his eyes.
I am shocked at how much this photo looks like a painting. The only editing I did was to manipulate the soft focus.

This is from our trip to the Southwest this last January. We were on our way from Lake Havasu to Laughlin and took a detour up the old RT 66. We not only got to drive on an historic road, but also took in a gorgeous sunset.

These are my bunny boots. They have been my failure free companion for nearly 10 years, obtained second hand from a military surplus store. They have kept my feet warm in temperatured dipping to -70 degrees and without them I would have surely lost numerous toes.
I wore these boots on every dog race that I ran and much of my training runs, totalling more than 13,000 miles on a dog sled! Not to mention that I have worn them for multiple thousands of miles snowmachining as well.
They weight about 6 lbs a piece, but I challenge all of you to find a tougher boot!

This photo is in the hope that we get enough snow to get out to the mountains this year. This is Mt McKinley, with the Tokositna Glacier running down to the Tokositna River. We haven't been able to make it out to this area this year yet, as the winter has been warm and lacking in any substantial snow.

This is my favorite picture of Chuck, taken at fishcamp around 10 o'clock at night in July of last year.

Mt. McKinley from the west bank of the Big Susitna River. The mountain is nearly 200 miles away!

A one lane bridge near fish camp, on our way to the foothills of Mt. Spurr, an active volcano.

I couldn't pick just one photo for today. These are from our trip over to fish camp this week. Above, the Theodore River with pack ice at high tide.

Charred remnants from the Big Lake fire, some years back, are silhouetted against a beautiful sky. I slightly saturated the colors for a more dramatic effect.

This has been a crazy week! This is another from my favorites collection. A winter flight over to fish camp, looking down on the Little Susitna.

Another photo from my favorites for a missed day. This is a net that we set, waiting to catch a king salmon. I adjusted the shadowing at the top of the photo to give the photo visual depth.

I didn't take a photo for the day so I decided that when I miss a day, I would add a photo from my favorites. This was taken out at fish camp during the summer of 2009, on our honeymoon. I didn't edit or change this photo in any way.
February 7, 2010
I didn't take this photo, but thought it was a fun one for the day. I did prepare the manual settings.
