I started this series when I discovered I had kept all the RAW files from my 2019 Alaskan Cruise and thought it be fun to do some 2024 edits based on new skills and see how my editing chops and tastes have changed. What I have learned is that I haven’t changed as much as one would expect in five years…

The Donation
As an artist donating items to fundraisers can be difficult. The question becomes; Will anyone be interested in my art enough to display it in their homes? Or will my art not draw enough attention to help in the fundraiser.
This came up for me back in September. I was asked to be a vender for a quarter auction fundraiser however the date it was slated to take place I was already booked and thus did not have the availability to be a vender but I was willing to donate a few images for them to auction off.

My blog post last week pair an old edit from Alaska 2019 vs a 2024 edit. In that spirit I was looking through my RAW images reliving my Alaskan experience when I stumbled on the elusive Alaskan Sunrise images I took. In May of 2019 I took an Alaskan cruise and cloudy was the forecast 99% of the time while there but one very, very early morning I got lucky.
The morning we were sailing into Glacier Bay, I was the crazy photographer dragging on multiple layers, climbing to the upper decks and making my way to the bow to photograph the landscape. Also the Park Rangers that would be joining our ship to guide us through the Bay.
Being one of the very, very few passengers up that early I really had my run of the ship and got to witness an Alaskan Sunrise. Check out one of those rare images below that was re-edited in 2024.
