This guy was one of the first people that I asked for a portrait on the UAA campus. He was studying in one of the long, glassed-in sky bridges that UAA calls 'spines'. I also like his UAA Seawolves hat!

This photo was made last summer at a First Friday art open house event. The women are modeling lingerie made from re-purposed materials. They were set up in the shoppe window of a local boutique called Octopus Ink, and drew the attention of passing pedestrians outside. All of this was accompanied by live accordion music playing something french sounding. The models would change places and poses with each new song.

I ran into a former 'random stranger' portrait subject the other day. She was sporting a jaunty-bright felt bowler hat, a rust-colored corduroy vest, and her trademark eyeglasses. Combine that with her winning smile and fantastic attitude, and I could not resist making another photo!

A candid photo of a woman texting in a skybridge connecting buildings on the UAA campus. They call these skybridges 'spines'.

The moon has been beautiful here lately. Stunning evening moonrise over the Chugach mountains, just east of Anchorage. Gorgeous harvest moonset, to the west, in the morning. I've had several people ask me this week if I photographed it. The answer is no - nor did I really want to. I think the moon has been amply documented; and while I might be able to make a competent photo of the moon, it would be nothing new.
I photograph the beauty in the everyday people that I meet. And unlike lunar photography, I hope that I am putting something new out there!

I hope you enjoy today's photo. It was made on the UAA campus.
