Autumn Pika
From last year, a Collared Pika on a cloudy day in the Talkeetna Mountains. I’m back in Alaska again, officially here to “photograph Moose,” but at this point I think we all know it’s just a cover story to spend the rest of the week chasing the perfect pika landscape.

Talus Visitor
If you want to photograph weasels, there are few places better than a pika colony. Worst case, you’ll get to spend the day with some pikas. This Ermine (Short-Tailed Weasel) was kind enough to pay me a visit while I waited for some pikas to forage. The Ermine kept them hidden away in their burrows,…

The Forager

To Go Box
Here’s a Bobcat carrying off half of a Brush Rabbit to eat later. There’s definitely a hierarchy to wildlife photography subjects. Carnivores are the best, but maybe coyotes are a little too pedestrian. I sometimes get odd looks from other photographers when they hear how much I’m into less glamorous subjects like pikas and quail.…

Heaven on Earth
When I sent my wife this photo at the end of my first full day in Katmai she texted back “are you in heaven!?” My answer was simply “yes.” The effect, of course, was done 100% in camera. It was actually an accident caused by a slight equipment misconfiguration, but when I saw the flare…

The Collared Pikas were good to me on my trip to Alaska. Look at this noble rock rabbit!
