up the dalton

ben and i drove up the dalton towards the arctic circle on sat. ben has another amazing camera, the linhof 4x5 that he borrowed from dennis. this is a nicer camera than we will ever own in our lifetime, the body alone is over 6 grand. ben was excited to shoot portraits of the crazy moose hunters coming off the Yukon River. it was a cold brown day, snow over the hills, but not down at the river. this is dave, he was down river 25omiles toward the bering sea with his family for 3 weeks at their moose camp. everyone is interested in the this camera and all the portraits ben shot, the people were totally into standing there for awhile.
pella and i hiked way down the banks of the Yukon River. we saw grizzly tracks, but no bears.
