Ninilchik, AK
Rain forced me to slow down in Ninilchik, Alaska, where I spent hours photographing the historic Holy Transfiguration Church and its remarkable overgrown cemetery. Between rain showers I explored the area's Russian history, searched for Old Ninilchik Village, and reflected on how nature quietly reclaims even our oldest stories.
Cooper Landing (2 Days)
Rain followed me from Seward into Cooper Landing, but it didn't stop me from hiking to Russian River Falls. What began as a day photographing salmon became something entirely different after a serious accident near the falls brought Fire and EMS racing up the trail. Between the rescue, hours spent photographing salmon, and conversations with strangers from across the country, it became one of the more memorable days of my Alaska journey.
