Update from Alaska

It's been a while since my last update and things have been busy. I photographed several great musicians in July and early August. Mid-August I flew up to Alaska in hopes of photographing some Moose, Bear, Eagles, beautiful mountain ranges and the fall foliage change. So far I have seen the moose and a black bear catching salmon. No grizzly bear yet, but I'm keeping my eye out. The weather has not been great (cloudy) so I haven't made my way up to Denali yet. I'm waiting for the weather to improve so my chances of actually getting a photo of the mountain improve.

Aside from the weather, the salmon fishing has been very good. The silver salmon (Coho) are running. These fish are a blast to catch! I'm using some ultra-light tackle which has magnified the thrill. I'll be bringing a cooler of salmon back with me when I do come home. The Alaska State Fair is underway in Palmer - I may make it over there for a day.

I won't be able to upoad the Alaska images to my website until I return home, but I am able to put some up on my MySpace page. Look under "pics" and then the Alaska album. Please leave comments! It's your chance to give some feedback while I'm still up here shooting.

Until next time.

Cheers,

Monty
