Packing Up and Shipping Out: North to Alaska

Ready to roll. Anaa, French Polynesia airport.

And—once again—we’re off. This time bags are packed with cool-weather gear; not quite the snorkeling kit and shorts from the South Pacific (dammit). Everything still piles into the trusty Pelican cases and Patagonia duffel for this trip, however, and we’re heading north. North to Alaska.

I’ll be spending the next week as an Artist-in-Residence at Bristol Bay Lodge. It’s been a couple years since I was in tundra and salmon country; looking forward to exploring some new waters with the camera. First time in Alaska, and new turf is always a good thing. Huge thanks to the team at BBL for having me; excited to get up there and get to work!

I’ll be trekking back east to Vermont on the 26th of August; look for images to be coming your way shortly after that, both here and in a number of magazines / online publications. Couple of fun Northeastern shoots coming up in August, so stay tuned.

And in the latest digital issue of Alberta-based Fly Fusion, read a bit about our waters through the seasons, complete with images of some of my favorite waters.

Thanks, Victor. This is more of an active fishing shoot and less of a conservation project, but excited to see what collateral I can bring in.
