Hi everyone -

I've been away the past while on an amazing and incredibly difficult photography adventure, to Wapusk National Park in northern Manitoba, Canada. This park is home to the highest concentration of polar bear dens in the world, and if you are patient, die-hard, and very very lucky, you can see the newborn cubs stepping into the world for the first time with their Moms. I spent 6 full days on the frozen tundra, with temperatures between -20 to -30 C and wind blasts as strong as a fire hose. There were a great many hours of waiting, but also some incredibly good fortune. I've posted a dozen shots on my website (link below), and I'll probably add a few more in the days ahead. This was easily the most exciting and rewarding photo experience I've ever had. And it also took the greatest amount of cold-weather endurance I've ever had to muster, but that makes the results all the more satisfying.

I'd be happy to answer any questions on this --- thanks for viewing!
