    What stories you can tell your grandchildren.. and they'll be able to live those stories through these videos, what a legacy.

      That's a thought i have always had. I love looking at old photos of my family, so in 30 years, it'll be nice to think that grandkids could see all of this.

    That last fox image was excellent and came about unexpectantly when you thought you were finished for the day. Many of my most satisfying photos are "surprises" as well. Don't forget to turn around once in awhile as you might be pleased with what you see.

    Your book has arrived finally! My dad and I were so excited to see the photos and the videos of their process. Unfortunately my father passed away a month ago from cancer and didn't get the chance to see the book he was so excited for. He had a passion for photography and we would watch your videos together, and we would go on our own little adventures taking photos. The book is great and your videos (old and new) bring comfort in these turbulent times.
    Perhaps this is a sign to visit Iceland like my dad wanted. But for now, your videos bring the pleasant memory of bonding over photography and the inspiration you would give us. Thank you

  • @markjarrett9400
    @markjarrett9400 Год назад

    That last image was the best of the day. The contrast of the dark fox with the white snow made it. It would not have worked out if the fox had been white. Well done.

    @seanmcgowan8501 Год назад

    That final fox, though ... yeh, baybee! You know, the initial wildlife shooter thought might be, "Wish I were closer" but then I thought to myself that the distance lends space which puts the fox where he belongs: out in the broad expanse of nothingness. It is beautiful. Put it on a giant canvas and sell it for a quarter mill like Yarrow does. There's a movie star out there who wants that image. It is soooo good.

    Well for a Landscape photographer you wording something right for this fox images. Yes, the last one was superb, indeed a wildlife photographers dream show I suspect. Pleas remember some of us live our photography through watching you. We are in no position health wise to get near the things you do, they are wonderful for us. I have enjoyed lots of things you have done, especially with the van, I hope you go back to it, however this was just wonderful, its possibly because of the amazing scenery but those amazing fox images will stay with me!
