The Steam Engine in Sheldon





I remember back in 1976 when the Bicentennial Freedom Train came to Sheldon and a good friend of my named Dick Bauer had me shoot all sorts of photos for the Sheldon Historical Society. Today was my second time for taking train photos. This is the largest working steam engine in the country and it was all sorts of fun taking photos of it.

More Alaska News

This first photograph was taken at Katmai National Park. The park ranger told us that each bear eats about 20 salmon per day. It was fun watching the bear catch the salmon.

I am not sure but I think these salmon are called "Pinks". We saw them in many streams in the area's that we visited.

This is another boat photograph that I enjoy. I am pretty sure that I took this at Whitter, Akaska.

Road Trip to Homer, Alaska

Today we drove to Homer, Alaska. Homer is located at the tip of the Kenai Peninsula. This old boat was in a harbor out on the Homer Spit. I have really enjoyed taking photos of boats on this trip. I assume it would be like someone from Alaska coming to Iowa and having fun taking photos of tractors!


This is a Russian Orthodox Church located in Ninilchik, Alaska. I don't know anything about it except it is a very cool looking church! A local person told us that they have services there every other week.

Photography in Alaska










This is a minute and a half of excitement in our lives when we took a Beaver Float Plane to Katmai National Park in Alaska to photograph bears. The plane held six passengers, plus me in the co-pilot seat and the pilot. As you can see in the movie, I really had the best place to sit! Joan looks a little nervous, don't you think?



The flight was 20 minutes long and landing was just as exciting as taking off.

Wedding Update






I have been having all kinds of trouble with this blogsite and it refusing to let me post new video's. I am trying to correct it but I have not been doing very well with that.
The first photo in this group of photos is Alec and Becky. They got married in Carmel, Iowa. The second photo is of Josh and Crista and they got married in Laurens, Iowa. Josh and Crista had their reception in the Events Center at the Clay County Fairgrounds. It was beautiful. The third photo is of Barry and Lori. They got married in Sheldon. The next photo is of Kirk and Kim and they also got married in Sheldon. Brady and Tina are next and they had their wedding in Sioux Center, Iowa. Joe and Ashley are in front of the beautiful Catholic Church in Remsen, Iowa which is where they held their wedding. Remember my opening statement about having trouble with the blogsite? Well, in the process of working on this problem, I have deleted Joe and Ashley's video so I will post it again!
