Last fall, I was contacted by the Environmental Film Festival in Washington, DC about licensing one of my images for their website. The graphic designer that I worked with wanted to use my image of humpback whales bubble-feeding at sunset in Chatham Strait, Alaska. Coincidentally, I was contacted by a client yesterday who ordered 6 copies of this image as mini prints for her friends. It is one of my all time favorite images and one that I could never reproduce no matter how hard I tried.
Last August, I was in Alaska photographing humpback whales bubble feeding in front of Tenakee Springs when I got a message from my dad and wife on my satellite phone telling me that we had a house fire. I was only 2 days into my trip with Stuart Westmorland and Ken Howard, but we all agreed that it was time for me to head home after that afternoon with the whales. It has been 6 months since it happened and tomorrow we are moving back home! I’ll be off the computer for a few days, but will be back online as soon as I can get everything moved and my office set back up.
