A working fisherman captured at first light in Porto Natales, Chile. Chile. After spending time leading a workshop for Muench Workshops in the National Parks of Chile and Argentina, we made an overnight stop at this wonderful fishing town. For me, landscapes are become completely different when people are introduced into the scene. Give it a try, you just might surprise yourself.

Standing on icy covered rocks with ice spikes on my boots, I soon became disinterested in the cold nipping at my body.  Although I was prepared for cold, nothing really prepares you for working in minus 15-20C. 

Dig into this file and just look at the details. From the people on the deck of Anthony's to Mount Rainier in the distant, its all there and that's what a medium format is all about. Yes I know, clouds and sunsets like this in Seattle are rare in the winter. Luck was with us. The rain started the next day (again).

I hate the COLD but I sure love photographing the beauty of a white wonderland.  Today, I'm off to lead another Muench Photographic Workshop in Norway.  We will start our adventure just slightly above the Arctic Circle before taking a 15 hour sail deeper into the circle and further north.  Look forward to updates along the way.
