I recently enjoyed one of my most unique photo opportunities to date. My good friend Aaron Bryant asked me to accompany him on a couple climbs on Mt. Erie in order to provide photographs for the newly revised Mt. Erie guidebook, "Rockin' on the Rock." Aaron, in partnership with Jim Thompson, have put many hours … Continue reading Photography on the “Rock!”

Alaska 2013
As I write this I am finishing up my fishing trip in Ketchikan, AK. Eight years ago my parents bought a commercial troller and named it the Suzi Q (after my aunt's dog). They put a lot of work into their boat, with the intention to use it as a semi-retirement activity that makes a … Continue reading Alaska 2013
Snowshoeing with the 7D & iPhone 5
I had a great Saturday a couple of weekends ago with my friends Mark and Braxton. We drove to the upper lodge of the Mount Baker ski area and from there climbed up to Artist's Point (the now buried parking lot - we didn't actually go out onto the point). From there we summitted Table Mountain … Continue reading Snowshoeing with the 7D & iPhone 5
Fishing in Alaska – Part 3
Wrapping up this trip, I can't believe it's already time to go home, and yet, I am also very anxious to see my wife and my boys! The fishing tapered off a bit, so for our last day, we headed off to another locations and caught some coho salmon to take home. I got a … Continue reading Fishing in Alaska – Part 3

We set out again on Thursday and fished Friday through Monday. Friday was an incredible day. We caught 190 fish! Saturday not so good - 43 or so. Sunday was okay - 82. Monday was the worst - 34.

Images from Summer – Part 2
Okay, time to fess up. This picture was actually not taken this summer. Still it is one of my favorites, and I needed an excuse to post it. Pollinating Blueberry Abundance And oh the pickings were abundant. We picked some 40 lbs of berries and only made it about 1/3 of the way down our … Continue reading Images from Summer – Part 2
Images from Summer – Part 1
It's been a crazy summer: New baby, adjusting to new rhythms of life, working, etc. In essence, it's probably one of the least productive summers for me photography wise, as I haven't really managed to get out and just do a photo shoot. That said, I have been lugging my camera around, and have managed … Continue reading Images from Summer – Part 1
Grace & Beauty
I shot these photos at the request of my sister-in-law, Hannah, who performed beautifully in a recent excerpt from Swan Lake. A little tip: If you want to capture photos of a dance performance, make sure and come to the dress rehearsal, as taking pictures is quite limited, and in most cases, not allowed … Continue reading Grace & Beauty
Levi Andrew Rauwolf Enters the World… Dad’s Perspective
At 3:00am, on June 8th, I awoke to the sound of something clanking around in the kitchen. I immediately turned to wake my wife, Dawn, only to find that she was not there. I breathed a sigh of relief at the realization that it was Dawn making the noise, and not some intruder. I climbed … Continue reading Levi Andrew Rauwolf Enters the World… Dad’s Perspective
