Photo: Alaskan Summer-Views from the train-Anchorage to Seward

A ride aboard the Alaska Railroad from Anchorage to Seward is one that I would highly recommend.  It provided me with one of the most exciting and  unbelievable opportunities to make pictures.  In every direction that I pointed my camera there was something breathtaking to capture.

Photos: Anchorage, AK In some ways just like being anywhere else. People are people.

If I were to ask you where do you think these pictures were taken, it is probably not likely that you would say Alaska. These were taken years ago before I knew what a Sarah Palin was.

Everyone loves a beautiful cake. Half eaten cakes as art.

I think that beauty can be found in half eaten cakes as well. There is something about the contrast betweeen the touched and the untouched.
