Arctic Documentary Project Official Launch In Winnipeg
Tonight was the official launch of the Arctic Documentary Project here in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It’s been a long time coming, something I’ve been working on unofficially for many years. It wasn’t until I was inspired by a good friend that offered a substantial donation that I realized I really needed… Read More »
Capturing an Image and Post-Processing
The image below was first run as part of my final post for our Arctic Documentary Project in Svalbard/Spitsbergen, Norway. It’s kind of buried in the main blog so I though I would pull this out for easier reading. The key elements I used to create this image include the… Read More »
Aperture Applet-GPS Info in Aperture for the ADP
Just going through some of my images and wanted to share a very interesting and worthwhile feature I’m exploring within Aperture. Before I left I purchased the Nikon GPS unit GP-1 for the D7000. I’m not a big fan of labeling the exact location of every photo but for the… Read More »
Arctic Documentary Project – Svalbard, Norway Post #2: Polar Bear Sighting
July 23, 2012 Two years ago on my first trip to Svalbard we found a dead whale, floating in the waters of Holmiabukta. It was partially beached, the underside of its large, bloated carcass coming aground on the bottom of the fjord, 50 feet or more from the gray,… Read More »
Arctic Documentary Project: Svalbard, Norway Post #1: Montana to Fidembukta Harbor
July 20, 2011 Our trip from Montana was uneventful – though flying anymore I find literally painful. When Tanya and I travel overseas we always plan to arrive at least a day early, ideally two or even three. Acclimating to a new time zone slowly can make all the difference… Read More »

Another Phenomenal Season of Cape Churchill Polar Bear Photography
November 17, 2010 On my way to Winnipeg. It’s a beautiful, clear blustery day in Churchill. Winter has finally arrived. Not as cold as it should be by 5-10 degrees but the wind has blown in from the north making it’s presence known with chill factors cold enough to get… Read More »
The Arctic Documentary Project
This blog entry marks the beginning of an adventure, actually more like a mission. A mission to document the changing arctic, its wildlife, landscapes and the people who make this part of the world their home. And in all reality it’s not truly the beginning for I’ve been working on… Read More »
Polar Sea Icebreaker Expedition with PBI and the National Science Foundation
September 25, 2009 Temp 30F My day began quite early. The alarm on my watch gently broke my slumber at the 4:00am mark. I’ve never been one to jump out of bed and this morning was no different. I laid there curled in the fetal position on my right side… Read More »
