Something Got Angry at My Alaska Trail Cam
For five weeks in September in to October 2024 I left had a game cam at the edge of my property ninety yards from my house in Seward, Alaska. I set it up pointing at a game trail. What sorts of Alaska wildlife might I capture? Would I capture black bears? Moose? Coyotes? Wolves? Maybe even a grizzly bear or brown bear? A group of meth heads? I had no idea what to expect, and as I first started to sift through the images it seemed I had only captured a few of the neighborhood pets. Finally, after nearly a month I go and retrieve my camera and reveal what I captured. Needless to say, I was a little surprised by the results....
And this month... Something attacked my game cam, it seemed. What knocked it askew? What got angry at my game cam

Four Photographers YOU Should know....

Four photographers that inspire me to branch out from landscape photography are Trent Parke, Fan Ho, Alexey Titarenko and Todd Hido.

Alaska. One minute you’re as serene as heaven, the next you serve me a dose of humble pie. I stare in awe at your highest peaks, and dance under your wondrous northern lights.

    65 years old, and JUST saw them for the first time from a hotel parking lot in Fairbanks!

Fingers crossed. So…yes, they exceeded my expectations.

I speculate that he fell into the steeper side of the gully and was buried in debris, sliding down on him and why they could not pick up a heat signature on thermal. Being too steep for even dogs to maneuver in, they couldn't get close enough to get a scent of his body. And yes, there are the portal and Sasquatch stories.
