A few months ago (yes – it’s been a bit crazy… ha) I was invited aboard the Hack Noyes research vessel to photograph the crew stocking browns in Lake Superior. This was a dream come true for me because I have gotten LOTS of photos of the big tugs from shore, but I had not […]
I haven’t blogged since June 21st. Wow!

I have been on the road constantly for the past few weeks, and I am slowly catching up on blogging some of the awesome things I was up to. One of these was shooting a show with Larry Smith Outdoors, my great friend Barb Carey, and Garett Svir of Slab Seeker Fishing. We started our […]
