Bear Photo from Brooks Falls

Brooks Falls, Alaska

This Alaska Brown Bear was catching fish at the falls at Brooks Camp.

I finally have been able to organize a few of my images from my trip to Brooks Camp, Alaska this summer. After seven days I felt that I was pretty good at capturing the type of bear photos I wanted. The key seemed to be patience, timing, and cooperation from the weather.

Most of the images I consider to be quite good, were made during the afternoon to early evening when most people had given up on photography or were eating dinner. Many also came while I was waiting for a "bear jam" to clear and I would have the opportunity to capture a unique expression from a bear or cub while they contemplated what they would do next.

I hope to have a slide show up of my bear photographs from Brooks and McNeil later next month.

Writing/photographing my way through life is my newest adventure. I've enjoyed a good life and have had the good fortune to work as an exploration geologist in the US, Canada, and several Latin American countries. Before I started my internet business I spent several difficult years working in corporate america where I was involved in GIS and Unix administration. My goals are in life are simple: enojoy life and share with others. My hopes are that the experiences shared here might help others enjoy the Alaskan lifestyle. I am married to a lovely lady and we have a little boy, and two dogs. My portrait was taken by my son Morgan, while we were photographing in Monument Valley, Arizona.
