Image of Memory Series - #1
My Father and I were out deep sea fishing for some bonding time. He's getting older and chartered a fishing expedition for us up in Sitka, Alaska. He says its for me to have memories of us when he's no longer here. Of course that made me sad and think about time and how we spend it. While sitting along side one another with our lines in the water another charter happened by with some amazing clouds framing it. I quickly grabbed the camera and snapped some shots! Let me tell ya, balancing on a boat in the deep sea hand holding the camera with a telephoto lens and trying to keep the horizon straight is a challenge! Yep, that was a shot taken out of the camera, no horizon leveling needed! Needless to say, processing this image made me think of so many things, mostly how to represent it. I changed it up this time to add drama and a more artistic touch in terms of rendering. What I came away with was this amazing image of fisherman enjoying each others company while out on the open sea. I can still hear them laughing when I look at this image, which in turn will always remind me of my Dad and the time we had on this trip, enjoying the company and laughter of it all. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

This particular image was taken on the first day of a 4 day of deep sea fishing trip. I had stayed off the boat this day to wander around the island of Sitka and capture a few of the landscapes and hopefully a sunset! I had just gotten back to the lodge and noticed a brief break in the clouds. It had been mostly overcast the whole trip with breaks here and there in the clouds, but none for a sunset. I just went down the docks to sit and wait and hopefully capture one, what I got was this! I had a brief moment as the Sun went in between the clouds and the mountain! With everything setup in anticipation, I captured this! I returned to my room triumphantly and immediately fell asleep.. sunset was at 10:30pm and we were waking up at 4:00am to be fishing.

This image was taken early morning while the crew were breaking for some quick grub and scouting for a new location to drop the lines for some fishing. I love looking at these images to remember all the fun times I had on this trip this particular one just reminds me of the boat, the crew, the lines and Dad and the laughter of fun and stories of the catches we had already made that morning!

After a full day of Salmon fishing and reeling up some Halibut we were on our way back to the docks. My Dad had told the captain that I loved photography, which was obvious since I think I had the Camera in my hand more than the Fishing Rod. The Captain knew of a cool little area with some sealions that loved to bask on a rock a ways off of the mainland on a little island. These fellas were loud and quite stinky but hilarious to watch. We trolled around the island a bit and I was snapping away. Telephoto, hand held and ocean waves are quite the challenge. But I came away with this image which has the sealion basking on the rock and one swimming happily in the water.
