Hi Everyone,
I'm back from what has turned into 7 months offline for me. No posts to any forums or anything except checking my email because I've been so busy! My days have been filled with travels and shooting to all ends of the continent once again and have spanned across Alaska and the Far North of Canada to the desert Southwest, Canadian Rockies and many other locations.
NEW work has been uploaded to my website, thanks for your thoughts on this.
This photograph is one of my favorites from my recent collection and depicts the wet world inside an ice cave inside a glacier in Alaska, which I photographed extensively as I was making a 35-day long solo backpack across the Boundary Range, one of the most glaciated places in the world. The trek was extremely memorable, but nothing for me surpassed the experience of being inside these crystalline blue-ice caves which in one glacier continued through a multitude of passageways for nearly a mile!
I got absolutely soaking wet for this shot even despite a lot of Goretex but I wanted a shot showing off the furious water action I was standing in most of the time. Other images from the glacial caves show off the ice formations and other areas inside.
The image is two exposures blended carefully by hand from a 14mm lens on the D800E. A large version has been included.

What a challenge this must have been to work out logistically, physically, and technically. A wonderful capture all the way around. Welcome back after the lengthy road and hiking trips.
The image above really captures the energy of this place. Well done.
I also really enjoyed looking at your other new images. I do indeed think this is my favorite though but the others are gorgeous in their own right. Welcome back. Sounds like an arduous, wilderness survival trip and glad your back safe and sound.
I thoroughly enjoyed the new images. Must have been quite the experience hiking alone for so long! Don't know if I could last that long, but would love to explore those areas.
This is just outstanding, as well as the others you posted on your website. Great to have you back and posting again.
Nothing to be critical of or suggest. Just a pleasure to view. Looking forward to more - a sneak peak of your new work and I know you have a great number of images to share.

Regarding the new work, lots of great stuff there. I did, however, notice a PANORAMIC image in there! I distinctly remember you telling me once about how much you disliked panos and would never shoot one. Never say never, eh?
congrats on another exceptuional WP!
