New Old Photo / by Dave Hileman

I have been re-doing some of the photos I edited in the past, sort of. They are photos from the same shoot but ones I did not work on at the time. For instance today’s grizzly bear is one of about 20 shots I took as he lumbered by in Katmai National Park in Alaska. This bear is as close as he appears to be, here about 15 yards away but passing us even closer, about 20 feet or so. He, an 1100 pound adult, is one of seven we saw fairly close and this is one of nearly 300 photos from the time on the beach at Katmai. So, in the compressed time of travel and posting a photo every day, lots got put off to “later.” Well, it is later as this was taken in 2019. I am going through older photos and really enjoying the process. I am off in South Carolina today, so more new work on the way but over the winter, i will be delving into lots of New/Old photos.
