Woohoo!!!! It took a little longer than I would have liked, but that's what I get for being away from DA for a year.
Thank you to all who have dropped in and taken a look around. Even more thanks to those of you who have taken a fancy to one or more of my shots. There are soooo many great photographers and artists here, it really means a lot to get the encouragement and the critique. I learn a little bit from everyone I come in contact here, so many thanks for the DA love and your respect!
Thanks to for choosing "Gradient" to be in his blog [link] . It's truely an honor to see one of my photos next to so many other great shots.
Most of all... Thanks to my old friends.... and all of my new friends that I've gotten to know recently... your art truely inspires me!!
My Best Friend
Whether it's eagles or canyons I'm shooting, this guy is usually around. He gets top billing because he first inspired me to be a photographer (and because I said so!) Here's a few of my 's. Go by and say hi!
Other Artists That Inspire Me
Old buddy... great artist... keeping it real in Oregon!
& You can't mention one without the other! This pair often shoot together and have incredible galleries! Drop in and say hi... both are fun to chat with!
Yes, I'm doing some major housecleaning here - stay tuned!

Do you like to shoot sunsets?
Do you live in Alaska?
Check out these clubs... great taste... less filling!
Been back home for a few days. Hawaii was great but it's nice to be back home. Thanks to all who have been keeping up with my island adventures. Been trying to motivate myself to update the journal... but work, and other errands have been getting in the way. It's nice to be back home and relax too. Have several Soprano's episodes to catch up on. Also been trying to go through the rest of my pics to see if there's anything else from Hawaii that I want to post.
and I took a day to go enjoy some of the Alaska countryside. We found this beautiful young bald eagle that seemed to want to pose for us. He was very large. His talons were lethal. You should check out some of his eagle pics. Here's one:
Ol' F5M couldn't resist trying to get a better angle on the eagle... so he quietly tried to get closer... but the bird wasn't having it. I think it went to go on his truck.
has other eagle pics... but hasn't posted any... so you should send him a note and harass him until he does... but he did make a new avatar for me... so don't give him that hard of a time. He tries.
's mother made some good 's We stopped in to say hi. Just wanted to say her cookies were good.
Laura is heading out again. Her work is sending her down to Nevada for 9 days or so. This time I'm staying at home. I need to get me a job that sends me all over the country for weeks at a time. That would be great... yeah.
Going to Indiana at the end of the month. I doubt I'll have great photo-ops like I did in Hawaii... but it will be a fun time. My mother turns 60, and it will be nice to see the fam. I don't get to see her as much as I like... so it will be nice to be back home for a bit and spend some time with her. We'll see if there's anything to shoot there... but then again... there's a reason I live in Alaska and not in the midwest. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's where I'm from and there's the fam... and the Colts... but stay in Alaska for a summer and you'll know what I mean.
Speaking of summer in AK, our friends have a cabin on Big Lake and we will be opening it soon!!! I can't wait. Well that's all for now. Hopefully I will post more soon.
Thanks to all who frequent my gallery!!!
There's some great photographers on DA. Here's some thumbnails from their galleries. Go and check them out!!!
