Sunday, November 17th – the stress of getting to Arizona was past. In my current state it’s hard to believe that I used to travel, and arrange and coordinate travel, for a living. But for the next week we’d be on the road in a particularly beautiful car, so...

There wasn’t anything important to tell you about for 6 weeks, but I just returned last night from a wonderful road trip in Arizona with my daughter, and now I have lots to tell you about and show you. This was pretty much a spur-of-the-moment trip – after deciding...

This is the fourth post in a row about photographing the aurora borealis, but it will be the last one for quite a while. The posts have been about progressively better displays, but there’s nowhere to go after this one. I haven’t seen any reports from scientists yet, but...

We’ve had some extremely optimistic aurora forecasts that turned out to be duds lately, but the night of October 7th-8th was very good, and the aurora was seen way down into the States. I was out shooting it twice. I wasn’t feeling well on the 7th so went to...

Yesterday morning, the aurora put on a good show for several hours, and I went out for two hours of shooting that really felt good. My internal aurora alarm got me up at 01:10. I looked outside and was soon out with my gear. The first photo was shot...

Over the past couple of days (Tuesday and Wednesday, September 17th and 18th), I finally completed a project that I began in August 1991. Well, it wasn’t a “project” in 1991, that was just the first time I photographed some of the graves at the Atlin Pioneer Cemetery. In...

Sunday, September 8th was a very busy day for me at Atlin. After visiting the Pine Creek dredge and some other sites first thing in the morning, I came back into town for coffee. At about 10:20 I started another wander on foot and by car. I took many...

On Sunday, September 8th, I left my cozy cabin in Atlin with the plan of spending a long day exploring Ruby Creek and Ruby Mountain. But I got distracted, and this post is about the reason for that 🙂 I got an early start and was driving up Surprise...

Atlin has been on my mind a lot lately, and I’ve just spent another 3 nights there, from Friday, August 6th to Monday the 9th. I had two offers of accommodations, but it took me a while to give up the idea of taking the motorhome with Bella and...
