Hi Kay!

I’m wondering if i can use one of your bear images for a flyer?

It’s the photo of the bear doing plank pose.

i found it browsing and surfing thru google images

The flyer is for a benefit for YogaBear to raise money for cancer patients and survivors. The benefit will be held on Sept 9th in LA.

if you have any more questions, you can call me at 503-888-7246 (portland) or email me at portLance@gmail.com

thanks!!!
Lance

I know Kay, and know that she went with Katmai Coastal Bear Tours (http://www.katmaibears.com/), as did I. You stay (i.e. eat, sleep) on a boat and are dropped off on land with a guide for the actual bear watching / photography. One of the guys who guides for them (Brad) is the same guide featured in the Art Wolfe Travels to the Edge Katmai episode and is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about bears. I cannot recommend them highly enough, if you can afford it.
While I have not been to the lodge mentioned by Dave, I highly doubt that the bear viewing will be as intense and fruitful, while we spent several days with the bears, through wind and weather, we only saw a boat from the lodge once or twice for very brief spells. This could of course be a result of the group(s) that were staying there at the time and their limited interest in watching bears in the rain. Either way, when staying on a boat you are right there all the time and spend virtually no time (or energy) getting to the locations and can always land quickly when something exciting is about to happen (the guides scan which bears are where pretty much all the time even from the big boat).

Hi Tom, if you’re still looking to go and work the bears, I suggest contacting David Coray at the Silver Salmon Creek lodge. I think this may be the best deal going. Various levels of cabin are available, the guides were outstanding, and the kitchen staff will blow you away at every meal. Price options are *right on*, and you’ll not be disappointed.

My shots (this was my very first photo vacation, and I had been shooting about 6 months at this point.) http://davechud.exposuremanager.com/g/alaska_wildlife

If you go, be sure to do a little fishing too (great to do on a rainy/dark day).

cheers, Dave.

Nice images! I’m looking at going and photographing the bears this summer. Do you mind sending me the web site info on where you went and when? There’s so many places online to look at and it’s nice to check out a place that somebody has gone to and liked. Keep up the nice work and please pass on some info.

Thanks much.

Do you ever sell any of your prints? I saw your pictures at the Angelina College theater and they are just beautiful.
