exploring nature’s infinite connections
Large format photography is something that never caught on with me. My loss I know. I suppose by the time my interest really kicked in with photography, I was so inundated with 35mm film equipment and wish lists that I never had much time to look into anything else. I...
Somehow this evening I ended up in my unprocessed folder from my 2009 trip to Alaska. As I poked around a bit reflecting back on how great it was spending so much time around bears, I decided to bring a few out for processing and putting up in my gallery. These...
This image is a survivor from a recent culling of my brown bear photos from my Alaska trip so long ago ago now. I have developed sufficient detachment from many of these images that I can edit rather ruthlessly. Yeah, I still have a lot to delete. Many still...

Yes, another bear photo! 🙂 This image communicates something entirely different than my previous one on bear claws, but they still attract attention eh? This is "Mom" brown bear taking a little time away from the kids for some maintenance of those claws - a...
Processing bear photos continues.... I thought this was an interesting portrait in how you do not see the bear's eyes, but my attention is drawn almost immediately to the claws. I wondered if this was an instinctual reaction to a threat. Similar to the way people...
