I had the opportunity this Sunday to do a photo shoot with the most beautiful women on the planet. I was pretty nervous going into it. For this shot I wanted to keep it very simple. I used one SB-800 on camera with a diffuser and bounced the light off the ceiling. I have become a big fan of using the diffuser and of course, as always bouncing light off the walls or ceilings. I am pretty happy with the results. It is always so much easier when you have a beautiful subject, thanks babe!!

Rock Climbing in Eagle River AK
A few years back I experienced a pretty scare fall of a rock climber and it took me a long time before i would get back on the rock. Getting back up there was scary at first but i soon felt comfortable again (of course always behind the lens)
Denali Park AK
Yet another shot that came out so much better on the slide it was taken on. My photoshop skills are still elementary so i am not able to turn this into what I really wanted, but this one still speaks to me.
Valdez Harbor, AK
My mom always asked me to get a shot of a boat in the harbor. This shot was taken on Provia 100, which looks so much better than this scan does. It took me a long time to jump on this whole digital bandwagon, now that I am there, I am enjoying it and am pretty impressed (not speaking of this scan).
Chauncey Sorenson
I have finally come to accept the fact that I could never do this. That is probably why I love being behind the camera instead, so i don't feel like such a baby when I turn down the opportunity to hit such a large jump. Notice the shovel for reference on how big this really is.
Backcountry Boarding AK
Growing up my father always worked for Thiokol and I had no idea that they made snow cats, so when I saw this I had to try and get a shot for him. Enjoy Dad!
Alyeska Snowboard Park
It took my a long time to decide wether or not to post this shot to the blog. I was not very impressed with the colors. The lighting at Alyeska resort is very flat and hard to shoot. After several years of working there, I don't remember very many sunny days like I was blessed with in Utah.
Homer Bald Eagle Perch
Homer Alaska is my favorite place for Bald Eagle photos. This eagle has been practicing this pose for years, waiting for the right guy with an oversized lens to walk up and take his portrait.
Alaska Backcountry
Hiking the Backcountry in the Chugach Mountains in Alaska can be pretty difficult in areas. The alpenglow and the wind blowing the snow, made for a cool affect on this shot.
AK Otter
Well, I have spent about five minutes trying to come up with something creative to say, I guess that is it.

If you have ever been to Valdez you would recognize this giant indian head. Pretty cool carving actually.
AK Kayaks
These were some Kayaks I saw as I walking down the docks in Valdez Alaska. The three colors just caught my eye and I had to capture that on film.

Dayton's Character
My boy has the coolest character around. This is the response I get from him when I pull out a camera to take a picture of him on his new found throne.
