Mendenhall Glacier photo published in Alaska magazine

by

Tearsheet from the Sept., 2014 edition of Alaska magazine showing tourists at the Mendenhall GlacierI scored another tearsheet from Alaska “The magazine of Life on the Last Frontier” with the publication of one of my images of tourists visiting the Mendenhall Glacier. The image is nicely displayed as a full page image in the September, 2014 issue. The publication of the image even generated a congratulatory phone call from someone besides my late grandmother who actually read the tiny photo credits.

The photo was taken on one of my Juneau layover days while waiting for the Alaska Marine Highway Ferry for Haines. I always make it a point to head out to the nearby Mendenhall Glacier for a hike and to take photographs. I’m never disappointed no matter what the weather. My favorite activity is to hike the easy to intermediate level trails that lead from either the Mendenhall Glacier Visitor Center or from the parking lot on the west side of Mendenhall Lake. You’ll quickly find solitude on the trails once you leave the visitor center area as most of the herd of cruise ship passengers walk out to Photo Point (seen in the photo) or hike the short trail to Nugget Falls. Mendenhall Glacier is a popular spot for cruise ship passengers. It sees over 500,000 visitors a year.

As I have mentioned previously, Alaska magazine, features great photography and stories on the people, cultures, lifestyles, and natural wonders of the state. The magazine can often be found at local bookstores and newsstands. Electronic editions/subscriptions of Alaska magazine for the iPad can be found on the Apple iTunes App Store.

Bald eagles fighting photo in June 2014 issue of Alaska magazine

Tearsheet from June 2014 issue of Alaska magazine of bald eagles fighting on the Chilkat River near Haines, Alaska

Alaska “The magazine of Life on the Last Frontier” has published one of my photographs — bald eagles fighting on the Chilkat River, near Haines, Alaska. The image of two bald eagles fighting appears with a story on bird watching in the June, 2014 issue of the magazine.

The photo was taken several years ago. I remember the morning well as several of my favorite bald eagle photos were taken that morning. It was one of those days where everything just came together perfectly. As with many of my bald eagle photos, I went with the lowest possible angle to isolate the eagles against a clean background.

Alaska magazine, features great photography and stories on the people, cultures, lifestyles, and natural wonders of the state. If you’re ever trying to decide if you want to make a trip there, Alaska magazine will give you a good feel for what this great state and people are about. Once you have been there, it’s a good way to keep updated on the places visited and for ideas for your next trip there. Yes, I said “next trip”. Once you have been there you’ll want to go again.

The magazine can often be found at many local newsstands. Electronic editions/subscriptions of Alaska magazine for the iPad can be found on the Apple iTunes App Store.

Audubon Magazine Photo Contest recognition:
Better late than never

by

Two bald eagles (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) fight over a salmon carcass along the Chilkat River in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve near Haines, Alaska. During late fall, bald eagles congregate along the Chilkat River to feed on salmon. This gathering of bald eagles in the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve is believed to be one of the largest gatherings of bald eagles in the world. (John L. Dengler)

I recently discovered while “googling” my own photography that one of my bald eagle images from the Chilkat River (seen above) was selected as one of the top 100 images in the Audubon magazine 2011 photo contest. I entered the image along with a few others and never heard back concerning the contest results. While it is not worth shouting from a mountain top it is nice to know that one of my images at least caught the eye of judges.

My image of bald eagles fighting is the fifth image in the slideshow of the 2011 Audubon Magazine Photo Awards Top 100.

Bald eagle photos published in Natural History

by

November 2013 Natural History magazineImages of bald eagles photographed by yours truly on the Chilkat River in Alaska have been published in the November 2013 edition of Natural History.

The magazine, founded in 1900, publishes stories on expeditions and research by curators at the American Museum of Natural History and other science and natural history museums. My favorite science guy, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, writes occasionally for the magazine.

One of the two images published was an image of over 50 bald eagles sitting in the cottonwood trees along the Chilkat River. The magazine’s art director, Steve Black presented that photo as a double page spread. The other photo was of group of eagles feeding on salmon. The images and short story by Erin Espelie about why the bald eagles come to the Chilkat appeared in the “Natural Moments” feature that appears in the front portion of the of the magazine. Erin’s story also included information about me and the focus of the work that I have been doing in southeast Alaska.

The November 2013 issue of Natural History is available at Barnes & Noble stores now or as an in-app purchase for the iPad at the iTunes store .
