Here are a few images from my
past, as well as links to some of my vacation
photographs which have been put onto a Kodak photo CD-ROM. Original images
were 35mm slides, taken for the most part using 64 ASA Kodachrome film.
The image shown,
left, is a sunset picture taken from the Alaska Marine Highway
system's M.V. Columbia,
floating up the Inside Passage in July 1982. The brilliant sunset colors are
the result of the volcanic ash particles in the atmosphere, thanks to the
eruption of El Chichon volcano in Mexico.
And to the right is a photo of
a red aurora which occurred in March 1989, viewed from atop Chena Ridge,
west of Fairbanks. Note the spruce tree silhouetted in the lower left corner.

People of Papua New Guinea,
A few shots from my visit to Egypt - sorry, this file got clobbered. Stay
tuned.
Coming Soon!! - Pics from my 2004 Africa trip.
This idyllic scene, right, was taken on the banks of the River Avon, in Christchurch,
New Zealand. It was a lazy summer day in January 1985. I was taking a few days
of R&R after my
first Antarctic field season, en route back home to Alaska.
Shown, below, is a summer rainstorm in the Alaska Range. The picture
was taken facing Miller Mountain (center), which is located northwest of Rainbow
Ridge. For anyone familiar with the area, the vantage point is from about
200 yards east of the Richardson Highway, about a mile south of Lower Miller
Creek, which is the point where the highway crosses the Denali Fault, a major
geological feature spanning much of south central Alaska. This was the location
of much of our field work, teaching the University of Alaska summer geophysics
field methods course. Photograph taken in late July, about 9:00 p.m.
Two of my best friends, Becky and Larry Queen, photographed by the light of
a campfire one Labor Day weekend at Chitina (pronounced CHIT-nuh), in the Wrangell
Mountains of Alaska. We had gone camping for the weekend and dipnetting for salmon.
This particular fire was cooking filets of a sockeye salmon that I had caught that
afternoon.
