The day a musk ox chose violence
After spending most of my life in Alaska, I've had plenty of encounters with wildlife.

Standing alone upon forgotten railroad tracks, @joeydarke.bsky.social feels suspended between memory and movement — as though the world has paused for one quiet breath before carrying her somewhere new.

@elizabethexpresses.bsky.social stood beside the horse like a whispered secret in crimson silk, her hand resting gently against warm velvet skin as if calming not the animal, but the storm inside herself. Beauty meeting strength, grace meeting wildness.

pale skin caught the first light of the rising sun, glowing softly against the dark stone as if she had stepped out of the sky itself. The wind lifted strands of her hair while the early morning light painted the lava gold and amber around her. @bellatrixortreat.bsky.social

Alaska’s sky wide open, stretching out like it forgot where it was supposed to stop, and @ayeonnagabrielle.com is right there in the middle of it all, grounded, completely present.

Hawaiian sunrise
The Hawaiian sky Was still painted in soft pastels—lavender fading to gold as the sun began climbing over the Pacific on my first morning of a five day photo shoot.

The last image my @nikonusa Z9 will ever take as it took an unscheduled bath in the ocean water right after this image was taken. It was considered unrepairable by Nikon and is now a fancy paperweight. But if I only get to take one last image, I’d want it to be of @bellatrixortreat.bsky.social

Around her, the ocean roars its endless rhythm. Waves crash against the lava rock with explosive energy, sending white arcs of foam rising around her like wings. Each wave becomes a brushstroke of light and movement wrapping @bellatrixortreat.bsky.social in an aura of liquid fog.

@bellatrixortreat.bsky.social lies across the cooled lava in Kona, Hawaii. The lava beneath her is dark, rugged, and uncompromising. She is smooth, pale, and impossibly soft by comparison—an elegant curve placed against a landscape forged by fire.

@ayeonnagabrielle.com couldn’t help but lay down on the job a few times during our shoot in Alaska and soak up the 24 hour sunshine and enjoy the cooler temperatures than her home in Texas.

As a wildlife photographer I’ve always been about patience. Waiting for the right moment, the right light. But with @catbardot30 she knows precisely how she looks in the light, and then twists it to suit her. It’s about keeping up. She’s got this energy that I can’t predict, and that’s exciting.

@bellatrixortreat.bsky.social lay barefoot in the moss, her skin kissed by sunlight filtering through the trees. There was no tension in her stance-no shame, no fear-only presence, as if she had always been part of this place, carved from the same stone beneath her. She WAS the landscape.

Im torn on these. Not sure which one I like more of @catbardot30 enhancing the Alaskan landscape of Turnagain arm on our recent shoot while she visited me in my home state. B&W, raw image, or edited. What say you?

Been working a lot over the past few months and doing lots of travel and haven’t had much of a chance to sit down and do any editing in a while. Although I thought I’d share a Straight from the camera, with no editing, shot of @catbardot30 in a wild lupine field here in Alaska.

Got out on Saturday night and shot some Aurora near the Knik Glacier. Wanted to stay longer as the show was just starting to get good around midnight, but too many others showed up casting head/tail lights and I was Uber tired. So will have to do a longer shoot next time. #aurora #timelapse

Built in the 16th century, the Basilica and Monastery of St. Francis of Assisi in Havana, Cuba functions today as a museum and concert hall. While walking past I saw sunbeams coming down from the balustrade and shining down onto the bronze life-size statue of José María López Lledín and a street dog

When food is abundant, and there’s no competition, bears LOVE to play. Mostly young bears play fighting with their siblings to practice fighting skills and burn off excess energy, but even older bears still like to play with clumps of ice, and even (unenergized) power cords

Beached on a sandbar in Inverness, California, the abandoned Point Reyes Boat would seem to be little more than a large piece of detritus littering an otherwise protected wetland. To me it was an amazing subject for a nighttime star streak image on a full moon night.

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS (Thread) 1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.

I found a new way to stop a sled dog team using my face as an anchor. Dogs were amped this morning and we took the turn a bit too fast. But I slammed my face into a tree and stopped the sled. Who says I don’t bleed for my art? #uglydogs

Guess there’s a whole load of folks following #uglydogs posts on this app. Now I don’t think the sled dogs of Alaska are ugly, quite the opposite actually.
