Sunrise on Brooks Lake
This is a very early morning image of Brooks Lake and the surrounding butte from the Brooks Lake Campground where we spend the night. Very peaceful, very relaxing, and a beautiful sunrise. This was photographed with the Fujifulm 100s and the amazing 20-35mm Lens.

Unpacking the Overpacking
by: JM So I returned from my short, four day road trip to the Maine coast. As you will see in the below image I waaaay overpacked. But, in my defense I will say that I was testing several different load-outs, and bags and their configuration for our upcoming long-term summer trip back to Alaska,…

Beautiful Maine!
Hello, I have been here in Maine for several days now. I’ve been working out kinks in the way I manage my images with my new M2 laptop, Lightroom, and external drives. A couple of years ago when we traveled up to Alaska I only took my iPad. After I returned I said, and still…
