I was on my favorite fly fishing forum last night and someone had started a thread about everyones favorite photos. This got me looking through my photos and seeing which ones I really thought were well done.
This photo I cannot take credit for but it is absolutely amazing. Julia took this photograph in Ninilchik Alaska. It is of the russian orthodox church that sits in town.
Here is a great photo of a rainbows gill plate. I just love the irridecense of the rosey cheeks.

Here is a great shot of a friend of mine on the Tuckassegee river in western North Carolina.
The beauty of fishing a small creek deep in the mountains. I'll never forget this day because the guy in this picture almost didn't make it out of the woods. It seems that Marty is illergic to bee stings. Hmmmm. One bee sting later and a very outdated epi-pen, and a fourty five minute ride down the mountain to the E.R., Marty is still here.
When Julia and I were in Utila Honduras we saw lots of these guys. The fiddler crabs were everywere. They usually would run away from you and hide under rocks, in puddles and the sutch. But if you kept pestering them they would stand up as tall as they could and deffend their space. This little guy wanted to get ahold of the camera.
In Honduras there isn't a whole lot of police presence, or at least there isn't when you need it. Most people deffend their own stuff from thieves. Everywere you went there were armed guards. This guy was paid to guard this gas station every day.
One evening when fishing on the Davidson river I notices this little guy hitching a ride with me. I layed my rod down and got this shot off before he decided he was camera shy.
James and I spent four days in Quebec on the Matapedia river. Every morning it was cold and foggy like this. This is called Routhierville pool after the little train stop that sits here. You can see the covered bridge in the background. 

Here is a great shot of James heading down river dragging his watermaster to the main flow of the Sauk river.
This is probably one of my favorite photos that I have taken. This is of Adam changing flies on the Deerfield river in Massachusetts.


My friend Steve Buckner on the Queets river. Boy can that guy cast.

I hope you enjoy these photos a millionth as much as I enjoyed being there and taking them.
