Dean's Picture-a Day
Alaska
Since 2006 I have been visiting a different place in Alaska each year, and hope to continue doing so.
2006: Wrangel/St Elias NP, Seward, and Valdez
2007: Homer and Kachemak Bay State Park
Dean's Photography Index
During 2006 I spent about six months digitizing decades of slides and prints from the 1980's and 1990's. I didn't switch to a digital camera until about 2002 or 2003. This process was possible because the cost of decent slide scanners dropped so much (I used a Canon CanoScan 8400F) - it cost about $125. Next came the six month process to upload the photos to these web pages.
Since then, I have been uploading new travels constantly. Major trips get an entry in the year they were taken. But many shorter local trips are entered into the Columbia River Gorge section constantly.
Mt Adams is Washington's second tallest mountain and 30 miles north of me. It is one of my most frequent backpacking destinations. See my index page for Mt Adams trips
