Alaska’s Grandeur and Magnificence

A limited collection of images that hold the feeling of being very small in a very big, wild place.

In Alaska, scale plays tricks on you.

Glaciers look close until you see the tiny silhouettes of people on the ice. A cabin feels sturdy and safe until you notice the mountain behind it rising thousands of feet into the sky. Seals drift past on shards of ice, carrying the weight of whole valleys and winters beneath them.

This collection gathers some of the moments that stopped me in my tracks—scenes where human beings, animals, and cabins become size references inside something much older and larger than we are. My hope is that these images bring a sense of awe, humility, and quiet perspective into whatever room they’re hung in.

Each print is a limited edition, signed and numbered, printed on archival fine art paper and available in two sizes.

Broken Ice, New Ground

Description

These chunks of glacier once belonged to something massive and unbroken. Now they’ve washed up on shore beneath a restless waterfall, proof that even the largest things in our world are always changing shape.

Fireweed and Far Peaks

Description

In Alaska, distances play tricks on you. A field of fireweed can make a mountain seem close enough to touch, until you remember it’s miles away and rising higher than your eye can measure.

Hidden Falls

Description

At first glance, it’s just a sheer face of rock. Then your eyes adjust and you see a thin ribbon of water tucked into the canyon, a secret waterfall that keeps its own quiet time.

Tiny on the Mendenhall
Cabin under giants
Bright in the Wild
Cascade from mountain down to sea

Description

This cascade begins somewhere you can’t see, spilling down rock and moss until it finally meets the ocean. It’s a single thread tying sky, mountain, and water together in one long descent.

Mountains for days

Description

From this vantage point, the ranges stack in soft blue layers that go on and on. It’s the kind of view that shrinks your worries down to their proper size.

Drifters on the Blue

Description

Two seals rest on a drifting slab of ice, framed by mountains and sea. They make the whole scene feel bigger—the peaks, the channel, the depth of the water underneath them.

In closing…

Sometimes we need to be reminded of our size—not in a diminishing way, but in a freeing one.

These images are my way of holding that feeling on paper: the moment you stand on a glacier, or watch seals drift past, or notice how tiny a cabin looks against a mountain that’s been here for ages.

If one of these scenes speaks to you, I hope it brings a little more spaciousness, awe, and quiet perspective into your everyday life.
