Looking back to earlier in the season when a brown bear cub had just finished eating a salmon caught by its mother, then paused briefly for this photo. I'm glad I was able to get a few autumn bear images before leaving for Africa…ezg
Have a great Thanksgiving holiday and thank you for following!

Mama Bear
Timing is everything. Another divine moment from yesterday morning's photo session. Somehow I managed to fire off 1,000 frames in a forty-minute span. The exhilaration left me with trembling hands and tears of gratitude.

Limited Edition Signed & Numbered Bear Print with 2017 Aurora Borealis Calendar
Hello friends,
My recent morning bear photos have been getting quite a bit of attention online. One of them received more than 8,000 likes on Alaska Magazine's page and I am happy to say this image is currently one of the most popular photographs trending on National Geographic Your Shot. In light of this, I have decided to make a very special, limited offer. I am going to release the very first ten prints on 12x18" metallic finish paper, signed and numbered, for $75.
In addition to the limited edition print, I will include a personalized 2017 Aurora Borealis Calendar, a $20 value. My photo is on the month of February, which I will sign for you, and the rest of the calendar showcases the work of 12 other photographers from Alaska and northern Canada. Every purchase helps fund my next adventure and allows me to continue exploring, creating and sharing with the world.

Autumn Morning Bear
A conceptual photograph involves much more than simply documenting a subject. When I am able to combine the elements to convey the mood of a scene and evoke an emotional response from my viewers, then I have succeeded in creating a truly artistic image.
Another crisp morning to start the day. In just over a month, the sun will drop behind the mountains and we will be in the shade until late January. I am going to miss this autumn light and most of all, this bear.
Early Morning Reflected Light
It is true that the early bird gets the worm; this is why I love early morning autumn solitude. Living in a valley where the sun does not reach until late morning, I've learned to use reflected light on my subjects, which, in my opinion, can be more dramatic than direct light. Knowing this, I was able to position myself in anticipation of capturing this moment.
