Underwater photography is my great escape from normal daily life. It totally immerses me (both figuratively and literally) in nature. I never think about my day job; I am always fully "in the moment." My best underwater photography is in the Underwater Highlights gallery. Bears, birds, etc. are in the Nature galleries.

WHAT'S NEW!
1. Watch Seattle's King 5 (NBC) TV segment about my photography!

2. A 5ft high "grinning shark" print - just like the one in the Smithsonian Museum in Washington, DC last year - is part of an exhibit of new, limited edition prints at the Clyde Hill Tully's in Bellevue.

3. NEWEST TRIP GALLERIES - Socorro - Nov. 2010, Nootka Sound, BC Canada - Oct. 2010 and Cayman Islands - May/June 2010

4. I started a new BLOG to keep those interested up to date on developments with my photography and life, and possibly make an occasional observation.

5. ALL PROFITS from my photography currently go to the Int'l Children's Surgical Foundation. In conjunction with my company, Appropriate Balance, my photography has been able to raise over $20,000 for ICSF thus far!.

The huskies were let loose to jump in the river to cool off.  In winter, just stopping (in wind and 20-50 below zero) cools them off!
And...GO!  Once the brake is let off and the dogs (specifically the lead dogs) are given the cue, they take off at an impressive pace!
About 5 minutes later, the team passed by on the other side of the lake, still at a full run!
As they finalize getting the dog team harnessed, the dogs get REALLY excited to get going - they LOVE to run/pull, and since they can't go forward yet, the jump several feet straight up in the air.  We saw this with several teams of dogs over the course of the trip.
A sled dog (mom) with her two young pups.
From here on, photos are pretty much in chronological order.  The first thing we did in Fairbanks was go on a riverboat tour, which stopped at this sled-dog kennel (sled dogs are a BIG thing in Alaska).  Here, they are hooking dogs up to an ATV, which they use to train them when there's no snow.
Soft coral arch. The sides of this walkway of a wreck was covered in gorgeous soft corals, with a floor of green algae that made it look like a garden path!
Assorted broken china, bottles, and other artifacts on the top (actually the upward side of a ship lying on its side), with another diver rising out of one of the windows from the interior of the wreck.
