In my travels I have been fortunate enough to capture some of the beauty of Alaska on film. Click this photo to visit my photo galleries. They are arranged by region, along with a special page for Mt. McKinley. |

I am from a family of seven kids and two loving parents - my mother is Athabascan Indian, raised in Holy Cross on the banks of the Lower Yukon River) and my dad is a "heinz 57", with our family ancestry coming from Wales. I have a very large extended family in Alaska and the Northwest. Click this photo to view photos of myself, my home and family. |

This is me outside the village of Venetie's tribal office, standing there in -45 degree weather. I work with Indian tribes throughout Alaska and the 'lower 48'. Click this photo to learn more about me and what I do. |

The Alaska state flag was designed by John Bell (Benny) Benson, a thirteen year-old in an orphanage in response to a contest sponsored by the Alaska Department of the American Legion. The prize was awarded in 1927. The flag was adopted by the Territorial Legislature in May, 1927 as Alaska's official flag. It is dark blue, with eight gold stars in the shape of the constellation Ursa Major and a larger star representing the pole star, Polaris. Benny also picked the forget-me-not as the territorial (later state) flower. |
