Simpler Photo book

Simpler Photo is a short book that’s easy to read and focuses just on the things you need to know to get started quickly. While many other photography books out there are excellent, I find they’re often: too technical and full of jargon (which can be a turn off to those of us who aren’t […]

by Kim

Conde Nast Traveler feature

So back in June of this year, a fun thing happened. Here’s a hint: I’m not one for creating much suspense or intrigue so I’ll just let you know straight away that I was honored to have one of my images was published in Condé Nast Traveller (the UK edition). And in case you’re wondering, […]

4 Months of Traveling (Moving?) – Trading in Snow for Palm Trees

by Kim

Southern California Sunset

Whew! This last half of a year has been quite the journey. After spending our predetermined time of about a year in Alaska, the day had come to leave our temporarily-adopted home. The date was set for our departure and all the necessary travel arrangements had been made. All that was left to do was […]

Snowy view from my window - Anchorage, Alaska

The snow has finally come and it’s here to stay for a while. I’m happy that I can enjoy this view outside my bedroom window. And though it may not technically be winter, as far as I’m concerned it is. Look at that gauge! I honestly can’t remember the last time it was this cold. […]

Fall colors near Eagle Lake, Alaska (Photo: Kim Olson)

Alaska’s been throwing all kinds of surprises my way. First, winter seemed to last forever and it was still snowing into late May earlier this year. Second, we got a much nicer and warmer summer than Alaskans have had in years. Possibly decades. And now? It’s the first time in, again possibly decades, that they’ve […]

Life in Alaska :: Photo Gallery (September)

Reed Lakes Hike near Hatcher Pass, Alaska

Just when I thought August was a month of changes, September rolls in. We had bluebird days, overcast days, snowy days and rainy days. And boy did we have rainy days. We almost set a nearly 100-year-old record, in fact, for the most consecutive days of rain (18). Not quite what we were all hoping […]

Biking Powerline Pass near Anchorage, Alaska

August is a time of change in Alaska, apparently, and all of a sudden Alaskans go from enjoying summer to full-on prepping for winter. It’s kinda weird. The warmth continues… The month started out just like July had ended – warm with blue skies and hardly any rain. I was super stoked to get out […]

Hiking with fireweed at Arctic Valley / Alpenglow near Anchorage, Alaska

Now that July is wrapping up, I can say that I’ve been pleasantly surprised at just how many summer-like days we’ve been having up here. June was ridiculously nice and I didn’t expect it to last. But it did! Woot! People visiting Alaska this summer must have the impression it’s always like this. But, as […]

Beautiful mountain scenery along the Glenn Highway in Alaska

June was an unbelievably gorgeous month in Alaska. The leaves sprung to life, the days were long and warm and the sun was shining. A lot. We also had the pleasure of entertaining my mom and enjoyed touring around the state a bit with her. Here are some Instagram Photo Highlights from June   Biking […]

Mr. Black Bear makes an Appearance [VIDEO]

Black Bear in Anchorage, Alaska (PHOTO: Kim Olson)

I just came up with a theory. It could be totally wrong, of course, but I’m starting to wonder if the wildlife up here in Alaska can sense that we’re only here for a temporary stay, so they’ve decided to make an appearance on a regular basis – kinda to welcome us and make us […]
