The Nomadic Photographer

Evening light on conifers near Juneau, Alaska.

The days are long in Juneau this time of year, and there are long spans of beautiful light as the sun slowly sets over the mountains. Juneau underwater photographer and local camera shop owner Art Sutch, just reeled in his first King Salmon of the season and was kind enough to invite me over to his home along with Flip and Linda Nicklin to partake in the feast. I, along with the other guests did our level best to assure there was very little left of the 25lbs of fish by the time we finished eating. As we were saying our goodbyes the golden light falling on the conifers next to his house caught my eye. A visual feast as simple and delightful as the King Salmon happily digesting in my belly.
