Images from Churchill

At long last, I am showing photos from my trip to Churchill last October. The show is on the walls of The Winthrop Gallery from now til July 6. This coming Saturday, the 16th, we will hold an opening reception for me and two other artists – Pearl Cherrington and Cliff Schwab. There will be light refreshments. I will be in the gallery today and on May 25 if you want to stop by and chat about the show. Here are my images from the show. Most are from Churchill but some are closer to home!

I love seeing these images printed and hanging on the walls of The Winthrop Gallery. I hope you come in and enjoy the show.

Here are a few of my photos from Churchill, Manitoba last fall.

A Bucket List Trip

Last month I went to Churchill, Manitoba on Hudson Bay. Why? People ask why. It is the self-proclaimed polar bear capital of the world. I have always wanted to see wild polar bears and it seemed like the closest place to do that. I had to swallow my distaste for flying (haven’t flown since before covid) and drive to Vancouver, fly to Winnipeg and then to Churchill. It all went smoothly. I was happy to be in Canada where all the people were very nice.

My guides at Churchill were Michael and Erik Bertelsen, Wild Outdoors Photography Tours. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a tour that concentrates on photographers getting their best shots. Both of them seemed to have intuitive knowledge of where the bears would be and where they were going. I was there for twelve days and I hesitate to say how many images I brought home. I’ve been home for over a week and a half and am still not quite done processing images.

Here is a small sample of polar bear images. There will be more. And also ptarmigan, arctic hare and Snow Buntings. And maybe a few photos of Churchill, itself.
