J Galleria "A world of digital art"

Mr. Steve Krochel owner of the Krochel Wildlife Refuge in Skagway/ Haines,Alsaka. OH, what a character he is. He is W***y Wonka, Dr. Doolittle, Doc Brown (Back to the Future) and Ace Ventura all wrapped into one!

For me, it was a one of the highlights of the trip. His passion, knowledge and love for the animals is heart warming, plus he positioned me in the best photo spots. I was the only one he invited into the Caribou enclosure to photgraph a mama and her calf! Definitely the best photo exerience I have had to date!

Just a teaser for now ... more to come in the up coming days!

Who wants to meet Luna, Akila and Kitty? LOL

Don't get me wrong. I use Apple devices (iPhone, iPad) but for them to insinuate that their new iPad Pro can "substitute" (for a lack of a better word) Human Creativity is insulting. As a photographer, it is my eyes and brain that create the image, my creativity is what makes my photos unique, that I use hardware and software to enhance, edit has nothing to do with it, they are merely tools of the trade! I know artists, photographers, painters, Dj's, sculptors, musicians, singers etc. and no electronic device can NEVER substitute us. Shame on you Apple!

Apple has apologized and admitted it “missed the mark” with its latest iPad Pro advertisement.
