Nope. I've moved on. Did 6 great seasons out there but now I'm working boat based stuff on the Katmai Coast. Getting more into polar bears in Churchill and Kaktovik. They still have a great crew out there. You'll dig them. Good luck with the lottery.

These are AWESOME. I'd be terrified to be shooting bears at 28mm though!

Some great shots here, the added humping photo gave me a good laugh.

Heading out to Alaska in a month or so will keep this in mind - thank you!
