Welcome to my NEW Playlist and this week’s video “My Favorite Photos – Alaska”.
If you looked at the “Intro Video” you know that I have been a professional photographer specializing in travel, landscape and wildlife photography and I have been published since 1979 traveling to over 85 countries.
Next month cruise ships start going to Alaska and I am a cruise ship insider… I am CREW. As crew I have a unique perspective on exploring the ports, the excursions, where to go, what to see. For the past 12 years I have been crew on various cruise ships around the world traveling with my camera and notebook in hand. For 8 of those years during the summer I have been on cruise ships in Alaska. This summer I am going back for my 9th summer on the HAL Koningsdam. If you happen to be going on the Koningsdam stop by and say hello, I am the ships Acupuncture Physician.
I’ve have started this new playlist with the still photographer in mind but it is not just for photographers, it is for everyone. My thoughts are to show images of places that you, my viewers might be considering exploring for yourselves or on a certain subject matter might hold interest for you.
For the photographer it will give them an idea of what types of images they may be able to capture for themselves. My hopes are that this will be valuable to photographers and videographers alike both amateur and professional. I will not only show my favorite images but also discuss the images and give some insight on how and where you will be able to capture photographs like these yourself.
Again, thank you for coming to Travel Guide and Photography and I hope you enjoy this new playlist “My Favorite Photos”
