ben has launched his new portfolio website (has links to the new alaska stock page too), my favorite pic is this one above from the ester dome trail. he also has images showing at the annex gallery in fairbanks from the "can't see denali from here" series under projects also on the huffphoto website. exciting stuff! he is still working on the lifestyles page, but i thought i'd put up a picture from the site.

cousin steve is visiting this week. we have another big backpack trip planned and a few other fairbanks outings. stacia is in town too, she is almost done with her field season and will soon be returning to fairbanks for good. a fun week ahead! dea
