This year, I'm very excited to say, we have the cover image for all three Bell's Travel Guides!

This year, I'm very excited to report that we have the cover image for all three Bell's Travel Guides!

In my last post, in response to a question I shared information about our top grossing photos.  I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the above photo.  The boxing bear cub image you see on this travel guide hasn’t been used in an advertising campaign, this kept it off the top grossing list, but in terms of total number of sales, it has to be our most popular image.   Read More

KPTCM Cover

This is actually a composite of two of our images combined by KPTMC.  You see, they really liked this photo from Harriman Fiord in Prince William Sound.  Problem was, even though it looked like it could have been captured in Kenai Fjords on the Kenai Peninsula, savvy viewers would certainly recognize this as part of Prince William Sound which is outside the Kenai Peninsula.  So they replaced the background with an image of ours from Kenai Fjords.  They did such a good job that when this arrived last week, I forgot it was a composite – it even fooled me!

How I Became a Bold and Beautiful Star!

 Well I’m sure that title got your attention, and my friends are probably laughing and rolling their eyes – I better quickly explain.

Evidently, CBS has a daytime TV show entitled The Bold and Beautiful.  It was explained to us that one of the characters on the show is this guy who does a lot of adventure travel.  Well, CBS contacted us last week and purchased 7 prints of adventure activities to decorate the set that will make up this characters office.  These pictures will appear to be personal photos of the character during his travels and adventures.  The photo of me above is one of the seven.  So star is a big exaggeration – but someday, somewhere, a photo of me just might be visible on the Bold and Beautiful.  lol

I Learned Kung Fu from a Bear Cub

It doesn’t happen very often, but every now and then we get a request in which we know we have the perfect photo – like for this book!

This is a publication of “True Tales to make you Laugh, Chortle, Snicker and Feel Inspired”.  I haven’t had a chance to read the whole book yet, but I just sat down and read one of the first stories: To Alaska (Without Pants).  It was hilarious!  I now look forward to reading the rest of the stories!

Via

This is pretty exciting – this image is on the cover of a couple different versions of AAA’s magazine Via, including the Mountain West and Oregon editions.  We have a series of photos to go along with the story about Southeast Alaska on the inside as well.

Long time subscribers might remember when I captured this image from this post on the Skagway Railroad.

Now that we are home and going through our mail I may subject you to a bit more shameless self promotion.
