I'm only hours away from leaving for two weeks of photography in Alaska. I'll be posting images and thoughts as I move from near Denali down to the Kenai Peninsula and in to Katmai National Park to photograph grizzlies.
Just have to share one of my favorite quotes on Alaska and grizzlies. This is from John McPhee in Coming into the Country:
"The sight of the grizzly bear stirred me like nothing else the country could contain. What mattered was not so much the bear himself as what the bear implied. He was the predominant thing in that country and for him to be in it at all meant that there had to be more of the same kind of country all around that. He implied a world. He was an affirmation to the rest of the earth that his kind of place was extant".
