I live in Valdez Alaska where there is a lot of incredible scenery and I love to share it with others, so most of my photos are landscapes of the local area and other parts of the state. You'll also find macros of the local flora & fauna and photos of other miscellaneous subjects. I hope you enjoy your visit.

I've lived in Valdez, Alaska, almost my entire life and have always been fascinated with photography. I had made a couple attempts at learning the art but the difficulty of dealing with film at a very remote location quickly discouraged me. The advent of digital cameras renewed my interest because of the quick feedback and embedded data but I hesitated a couple years from lack of confidence. My wife, Kayla, finally pushed me into the water with strong prompting and a request for photos of her dogs. I bought a Sony DSC-F707 in June of 2002 and started sharing photos of the beautiful scenery around my home town using this Betterphoto gallery. I purchased a Sony DSC-R1 in June of 2006 and I'm still shooting with that camera. I hope you enjoy my tour of Valdez and other parts of Alaska as well photos of our dogs and occasional unrelated subjects.
