Jeff took these on Mendenhall Glacier near his home in
Juneau.

One of Jeff's
slides, a nice mossy creek. I asked him for some info
on this picture; where it was and how he got the water to look like this.
Here is his reply:
"This is an unnamed creek emptying into the Honker Divide on Prince of Wales Island. It goes through one of my flying squirrel grids 3 miles from the end of a dirt road, which is gated 7 miles back (that means nobody went up there except us). the white streaks are caused by me leaving the shutter open as long as possible (which meant I had to have a small aperture f22, but that improves your depth of field, or what's in focus, so that was good)."

These are the houseboats that served as the base camp for Jeff and a crew. It is located between Wrangell Island and the mainland. They had to boat every day from it to the island for work and then back to it at the end of the day to eat, drink and sleep. Photo by Jeff Nichols Canon AE 2 An email from Jeff August, 2000 |
