Hedgie Photography

In the beginning...

In recognition of the fact that many friends and family want to see photos beyond those available in my Gallery, I’ve decided to start a photo blog. The photos here aren’t necessarily the best photos in my collection, but rather pictures I wanted to share.

Both Andrea and myself will post here. Feel free to use any photos at the posted resolutions for personal uses. For higher resolutions or commercial use, send an e-mail to photo@hedgie.com, but be aware that not all photos may be available. The originals may not be high enough quality, or model releases may not have been obtained. Still, it can’t hurt to ask.

To start things off, I’m going to post two pictures from Heliotrope Ridge that didn’t make the cut for the gallery. This photo has always been one of my favorites, however, I don’t have a model release for the climber in the picture and can’t sell the image. He is a friend, however, so I suppose I could obtain one if there were interest. Behind the climber you can see the Canadian Border, and the peaks of British Columbia.

The second photo was also from Heliotrope Ridge, taken the same day. I saw a friend traversing a rib, and quickly snapped a shot without preparation. I loved the shot, but the dog (Chugach) chose that moment to turn away from me. Unfortunately, the dog’s rear ruined a beautiful picture. My friend was too far away to shout directions to, and the picture never came out the way I wanted it to.
