Looking back through photo archives I’ve pulled a few to process for posting. It’s nice to discover my skills with post-processing have improved and some photos I previously passed over can now be worthy of posting.
This photo was taken from a helicopter near the Juneau International Airport looking southeast down Alaska Highway 7 (AK-7), Egan Dr. towards Juneau, AK.

My Nikon D300’s shutter was firing in rapid three round burst as we struggled for altitude after a mid-flight stop on the dark waters of a cove. The float planes roar, my shutters clicking, all went unnoticed as everyones attention was riveted to the amazing scenes outside the glass.

If you stand near the main docks of Ketchikan, Alaska, looking inland and slightly westward you’ll view these neighborhood homes situated on a hillside.
To my eyes the homes fit perfectly with notions of Alaska and while this photo was take recently, May ‘08, it looks somewhat timeless.

I’ve been reviewing, key-wording and reorganizing some of this years photos getting ready for next year. I’m also taking a fresh look at the photos to see if there are any gems I may have missed on the first go around.
