Alutiiq Woman

5-650-3435 stock photo of Alaska, Anchorage, Alaskan Native woman with beaded headdress

Photographing this Alutiiq woman at the Alaskan Native Heritage Center in Anchorage I was drawn by her colorful beaded headdress and feathered snowfalling dress. At the end of the portrait session, drawing in close to a simple focus on her eyes framed by beads gave the most engaging image. Often only a small part of the scene is all that is needed to tell the whole story.

Alaska Eagle

5-650-4357 stock photo of Alaska, Kodiak, Eagle over Chiniak Bay

On a late Spring evening on Kodiak Island the light lasts forever. Well over an hour after sunset an orange glow lit the sky above the rugged intgerior mountains across Chiniak Bay. As I came slowly up to a bald eagle perched on a cliffside, it quickly took flight and swooped high in the air, gliding on the last light of the day
