We love Alaska.

This state is beautiful. Jaw-droppingly beautiful in some cases. Contemplatively beautiful in others.

We are both inspired to take photographs, and so we carry at least one of our cameras with us at virtually all times. This diligence has paid off, enabling us to take advantage of some surprises.

As Malcolm Gladwell spells out in the book Outliers, one needs meaningful practice, and lots of it, to become expert at something. We study photography and others’ photos in order to better improve our skills, and then we go out and shoot, steadily accumulating our 10,000 hours.

This is a great place to do so.
