I snapped this shot a while back of a gull that was preening some feathers. Always liked the curves in the shot and that piercing eye staring back at me…

So I am still dusting off some old files and found some from back when I was up in Alaska. This first shot and my favorite Bald Eagle shot of all time was taken out in Dutch Harbor, AK.
These next four were all taken downing Homer, AK. Now when I say these needed during off, they really did. When I went on this shoot my Mark IIn was all of about 4 days old ( I was still reading the manual the night before the first day of shooting ) and like any new camera it was plauged with what I call break in dust. Every small bit of dust that was shaken loose in that new body found its way to the sensor. At the time I had no earthly idea how to clean a camera, so most of these shots originally looked like the Balds were flying in a volcanic fallout. But thanks to some time and the healing brush said dust be gone and now I have some images again.

Hey Everyone,
Well this is going to be a bit of a plea for help. Today I had to do one of the hardest things photographically that I have ever done. I am used to the peaceful landscapes and wildlife, but today I got a call to come photograph some puppies. Now this isn’t something new as of late. I have been photographing the rescue dogs for Marley’s Mutts Dogs Rescue for a while now, but this call was a different one. I was asked to come down and photograph 4 small puppies who were the survivors in a structure fire. At first I thought no problem but then I heard the rest of the story. These puppies barely made it out alive there were horribly burned in the fire and were in need of serious medical treatment. I was asked to come photograph these little girls to document the extended of their injuries. It was difficult to say the least. Each one is fighting for their life and with extent of the injuries they have I couldn’t believe that they were still alive. But they are and they need a lot of help, and if these little girls are willing to fight as hard as they are in their condition then I was going to help out as well to do what I could do. So there is a donate widget here that will allow anyone to make a donation to Marley’s Mutts rescue that will go directly to help these 4 little girls.
There are also images of them after the break. I didn’t want them posted in plain view because they are graphic. If you are queazy or in anyway weak stomached I am not going to suggest you look after the break. I would also ask that if there are kids in the room that you don’t click after the break.
Any help you can give these little ones I know would be greatly appreciated…
Thanks for taking the time
