Feel the Inukness
Great video on You tube. Love it. Try to name all the places in Iqaluit. The video was made by Becky Qilavvaq and stars Anguti Johnston.

Lights and a Machine
I got out tonight to take some photos of the northern lights.
They were light and only the long exposures would bring them out.
I was standing in the middle of Tellik Inlet. The ice was cracking and booming.
I got out there using my new toy. It's a 600HO ETEC Renegade Backcountry Ski Do.

Fighting over a Bone
A couple of ravens were fighting over a bone and entertained us for several minutes. The photo is poor quality because I was taking the shot through a window and a piece of Plexiglas.

Tellik Serpent
You've heard it here first!! The Serpent of Tellik Inlet has finally been photographed by yours truly.
It looks suspiciously like my photo of the three whales but on further review a head can clearly be seen on this new photo.
You be the judge!

Special thanks to the West Baffin Eskimo Co-op Print shop for alerting me to this photo I overlooked.

Three Bowhead Whales
Three whales are better than one.
The cry went out at work that bowhead whales where in the inlet and after most of us seeing them from the windows all of work emptied out for the chase. Of course this hunt was done with cameras. I did get a couple of good photos but some folks went out and chased them in boats which obviously irritated them. After that they dove down and only came up a couple more times.
It was two years ago that Michele and I got the photos of a bowhead whale that came into Tellik Inlet. You can find those post here and here. We were the only ones that got a photo with the tail in the air.
I guess if a person is to start blogging on a regular basis again this is a good way to start.
The photos are not of the best quality just given that it was the worst time of day and weather for them. It was getting dark (4:00pm) and overcast. Tried to fix them up as best as I could in Photoshop.
Enjoy.

Three are better than one. Think it was a mother and two young ones.
Got one of the young ones blowing some air.
The last good site of them going around the point.
That is just the top of their heads sticking out of the water.

Photoshop
I decided to get Photoshop Elements and have been doing some initial digging into the program. Will start posting some photos in a bit. Kind of let the blog go down hill this year but will get the quality and quantity back up to par soon.
Thanks for the continued patience.
Here is a photo from our vacation in August.

Me, Michele and a rock holding the camera. Good times.

Almost Back
As you can see by the blog title things have been changing.
Michele and I are back together and enjoying the adventure of getting to know each other again. It's been a hard road getting to this point but usually the things that are most valuable take the most work to obtain.
My laptop had died a month ago and it's only been in the last couple of weeks that a new one has come to my possession. Have been getting everything put back on the computer but can't find my Photoshop program in the boxes. Might be an excuse to get the full version of Photoshop instead of Elements. Have been wanting to try out the HDR option available with Photoshop. And this is another excuse to why the blog has not been updated in so long. Once things are settled and I get all the stuff up and running with the new laptop (love windows 7) there will be a flurry of post on the blogs with photos over the last 6 months. Just because the blog has not been updated in awhile doesn't mean the photo taking has stopped.
I was recognized in public the other day as the M of Cape Dorset. Kind of neat when asked if I was the "M" in The M of Cape Dorset. Unfortunately I wasn't up to my best being in a rush and was shorter than I normally would be. Had to get some tire patches for a hole in my Honda tire and had someone waiting for me. My fault the flat happened and it's fixed now.
Thanks to my loyal stalkers to the site. The restart will be soon. Promise. You can trust me.
