    Helisurfing in Alaska

    Helisurfing. There’s a word I’ve been thinking about for a while. Just sounds nice. Finally had a chance to do more than just think about it yesterday. Thanks to Jeff Hoke and the Chugach Powder Guides for making this come together. Laying in bed catching up on some sleep from our recent travels down under, Jeff called and said we might have a chance for a helisurf trip. I had been watching the swell and knew this would be good opportunity to live the dream so the scramble began.Two of hours getting boards, wetsuits, booties, mittens etc. together for everyone stuffing everything in the Suby and I was off on the 3.5hr drive over to Seward.

  • Surfing Jaws – January 4, 2012

    Surfing Jaws – January 4, 2012

     

    Kai Lenny paddle surfing at Jaws. 1/4/12 (Scott Dickerson)

    I’ve never really been able to stomach the idea of photographing the exact same thing as another photographer, especially not 100 other photographers. But that is exactly what I did recently on Maui in the Hawaiian Islands. We arrived the day before the biggest swell of the 2012 winter season and were fortunate enough to witness some incredible surfing at jaws on January 4th. This, from what I’ve heard, was the first surf session at Jaws for this winter season. Quite a way to welcome in the new year!

  • New website for the road

    New website for the road

    I am traveling outside of Alaska for a couple months this winter. For some reason I chose the day before we left as a good time to launch an entirely new website here at ScottDickerson.com

    Please be understanding if you find some bugs and please let me know about them – Contact Scott.

    If I wasn’t standing inline at the airport I’d write more, but as it is, I hope you enjoy all the new photos and layout. I’ll do my best to make some posts from the road, air, water . . . over the next few months. Exciting plans.  Bon Voyage

    Fall is my favorite season in Alaska.

  • Bristol Bay exhibit opening video

    As previously mentioned – I have an exhibit on display at the Pratt Museum in Homer, Alaska now through June 26th, 2011.  It is a collaboration with sculptor Maygen Jannetta. The opening reception was on April 15th, and for the event I put a GoPro HD camera up to shoot a still photo every few seconds.  The resulting video is embedded below.

    Over 100 people came through the exhibit that evening and hopefully many many more will see it before the end of June. Thanks again to the World Wildlife Fund for their support of my photography work included in this exhibit.
