North to Alaska | Glacier Bay & Yukon

It was the first travel adventure I ever filmed, and it was on a family cruise to Alaska in 1998. Pooling what little money I had saved as a kid, I finally had enough to purchase an old used video camera just one year prior. I was still a few years away from going digital, but even back then I knew I was hooked on being behind a camera.

Sailing from Vancouver, the cruise to Alaska included stops in Ketchikan, Juneau, Skagway, and a visit to Glacier Bay. It was from Skagway that we rode the White Pass & Yukon Route Railway, a historic stretch of track that was built in 1898 during the Klondike Gold Rush. 



Between the excitement of riding through narrow mountain passes and the unforgettable sound of calving glaciers, this is one of those early trips that I've grown to appreciate even more as I've gotten older. These are a brief collection of visual highlights from the experience.

A Weekend in Edmonton, Alberta

This weekend I was up in Edmonton, Alberta for some quick travel shoots and birthday celebrations. I've gotten pretty good at mixing business and pleasure, and this whirlwind trip was no exception. From a stay at Hotel Macdonald downtown to exploring the new Ice District to a quick refresh at the West Edmonton Mall, there should be even more great additions to the Around Alberta series ahead. Here's a quick glimpse of what's to come.

Selena Memorial in Corpus Christi, Texas

The life of pop star Selena was tragically cut short on March 31, 1995 when she was shot and killed in Corpus Christi, Texas. A memorial to Selena now stands on the waterfront where fans have written their names and messages on the bricks surrounding the statue.
