Alaska -- As the plane banked into a turn, I could see the snow covered mountains--the Chugach mountains, standing guard over Anchorage, Alaska. The plane glided towards the ground and moments later, as the rubber hit the runway, the journey began. In the course of two weeks, I would travel as far north as the Wonder Lake Campground in Denali ("the great one") National Park and as far south as Seward. It was a long two weeks in some regards. Just driving out to Wonder Lake from the park entrance was a twelve hour journey, which the sights I had seen made it worth the whole trip. Everything else was icing on the cake at that point. Below are some of the sights I have seen.
My interest in photography has been a natural progression from the things I'm most passionate about—traveling and nature. Traveling has always been a part of my life. I've traveled all over the United States, including Alaska and parts of Canada. It's in my blood. My trips to Alaska and Canada in particular have taken me to beautiful, remote places both on foot and by paddle, but it was in Alaska that I got seriously hooked on photography.
Photography, for me, is about capturing moments. My goal is to create images that move people, that touch them in some way. When people see my work, I want them to see the beauty that surrounds us all. If I've successfully captured what I saw, the image should take the viewer from their chair and transport them to that moment in time.
