Destination
YUKON

There’s a lot of history and lore in the Yukon and it all started with the gold rush as prospectors made their way across the Chilkoot Pass toward dreams of gold in Dawson City. Today that history lives on in Dawson, a town that’s been preserved to capture the richness of the past. It provides a very interesting backdrop for those who like wood-beamed older buildings dressed in signage painted with fonts from the turn of the last century.

Today one of the main tourism attractions to the Yukon is the grueling Yukon Quest dog sled race that takes mushers from Whitehorse to Fairbanks, Alaska. Every year the race alternates start and finish lines between two centres.

My experience in the Yukon was one of gigantic vastness. Mountains that appear to sprawl to infinity. Lakes surrounded by lupines and fields of wildflowers and rivers that wind their way through gulleys and canyons ...

BIO

Aside from my family (because they might read this) there's nothing I love more than making pictures. If I couldn't be a photographer, I'd have a problem because the only other thing I ever really wanted to be was a professional soccer player and according to those who know, it ain't gonna happen. I love photography so much that I gave up a fifteen-year career, making much better money working in the advertising world, so that I could carry a Nikon full-time!

It all started in and around 1998 and it's the longest I've ever stayed at one job in my life. My boss (who is me, not my wife as some people might suggest) is not an easy guy to work for! I have to be in my office by 6:30am everyday and I'll often stay long into the evening or weekend, of course I am allowed to leave if I have things to photograph. He, my boss that is, pays me no more for all of this, but allows me to continue doing what I love. He believes that if we work hard, treat our customers honestly, fairly and with integrity we'll have them for life. He's clearly an idealist! He's also much nicer to our customers than he is to me. You know we've never had a company Christmas party, that's just wrong!
