  • C-1987.8.1#23. Barren Ground Caribou during the summer molt. Sheep Mountain, above the old Meekin homestead, Alaska. Scanned from old film stock.
  • C-1987.8.15#310d. One of my favorite souvenier images from the old days in Alaska. A really great caribou bull with wide palmated tops aand double shovels with a group of lesser bulls crossing a side channel of the Sagavanirktuk River just a little south of Deadhorse Alaska.
  • C-2006.9.3#020.2b. Always a special time when you can get to the top of the mountain ridges and get a subject back dropped by mountains below. This great bull is already wound up before the rutting season starts, going hard and grunting continuously as it passes Mary Lou and I. Denali Park Alaska. Along with the many problems salvaging images from old film stock, this one had really bad heat waves.
  • C-2007.10.12#200d4. A herd bull in a frenzy trying to keep his cows together during an almost whiteout day. There were many satellite bulls trying to get near his cows. A great day for me getting to move around with over a hundred animals getting all these moody captures. Denali Country, Eastern Alaska Range Alaska. I had to developed and redeveloped this image many times before I was satisfied because they were almost all a true monochrome the light was so poor, but now I will try to get more of the images developed and posted from this day. I have several hundred interesting images from this day.
  • C-2008.6.5#026. Barren Ground Caribou cow with newborn calf. Kenia Nat. Wildlife Refuge, Alaska.
  • C-2008.10.4#033.4. One of my most memorable nights and days spending time with the Caribou. All I could hear all night long was grunting and hooves clacking in my camp. I got up long before there was any light to photograph and watched the dark forms of caribou moving all around past my camp. Eastern Denali Country, Alaska.
