Cover of Alaska Magazine, November, 2009.
Having the cover of Alaska Magazine is pretty cool. Check that, it is really cool! We knew we had made this sale almost two months ago, and I was really looking forward to seeing the final result once we got back home – I think it turned out great!
This is a rock ptarmigan in Denali National Park. Willow ptarmigan get all the love in Alaska – they are even our State Bird, so it is nice to see the rock ptarmigan get a little press. 🙂
After a few longs days of travel we are now safely back home – it is great to be back in Seward! The below zero wind chill factor this morning reminded me we were no longer in Palm Springs. But then again, so did the lack of stop lights, traffic, the fresh air, amazing scenery…

Thanks Joni!
I just came across your site through my Google Reader recommended sites. Fantastic photos and I especially love your Vegas set. I found the entire city to be extremely photogenic different than any city I’ve been too (which makes sense b/c Vegas is definitely different, haha). I most definitely added your site to my feeds for photo updates. Keep up the great work and congrats on the cover shot. — Erik
