Connecting with summer

The thing about Summer in Alaska is –  It’s here and very real, but not to stay.  I’ve been busy making the most of it, which leaves little time to talk about it. Less talk, more fun. The pleasures abound: Taking photos, surfing, harvesting wild plants, kayaking, flying my paramotor (there’s a story to tell), and occasionally sleeping for a few hours between sunrise and sunset.

I’m continuing to explore the ‘nature with people‘ concept.  Below are a few recent images resulting from this desire. Thanks to Stephanie for helping create these and many more.

So, maybe this one was really from spring, but it felt like summer to us.

    Love the photo with the ferns. Its such a lovely feeling to lie down and see the world through that lace on a spring day. I can sense that in your model. Well done.

      Thanks Robert. It is fascinating how intense the spring experience can be year after year. Each time is like the first time.

    Hi Scott, truly outstanding images once again! The silhouettes were especially spectacular. I also really enjoyed the 20 year post Valdez coverage.

    I’ll be in Homer on August 12th-15th…perhaps we can try again to meet? I’ll contact you.
