Wasn't sure of what I was going to shoot or where I was going to go but I was going somewhere! Ended up at a few different locations along the Matanuska River in Palmer, Alaska. The sun was rising and the temperature was about 18º...welcome to Alaska in October.

Just wanted to update everyone on a few changes with the website. I have revamped a few things and simplified some stuff as well. The new mobile version of the site is available for those using iPhones and other smart phones.

Also, I have kept the theme simple to let the photos shine and each person's gallery stand out. I hope you enjoy the changes.

Mike

I did take most of the winter off and I have moved my family out to the Mat-Su Valley. I have some projects lined up and I have been keeping busy. I am upgrading some equipment and getting ready for the summer season! Also, I will continue my photography in both the Anchorage and Mat-Su areas. Stay tuned.
