For the second time this year, I’ve found myself visiting Haines, Alaska. Jacqui, my girlfriend, has been nursing in Whitehorse, and on a visit we took a trip out to Haines. At this time of year the Chum and Coho Salmon are running, and between 3000 and 4000 bald eagles migrate to Haines’ Chilkat River to feast. We counted almost 100 eagles in one spot within easy view.

Really fine series oh photos
Hey Jordan,
Stumbled upon your website from the Telus Snowboard Festival site and have spent the last hour rooting through your sites. I am now a huge fan! Some of the angles you achieve are mind boggling (how’d you attach the camera to the frame of the mountain bike? Or the bird’s-eye in the tiny gondola?!) Wild.
I also noticed you went up to my neck of the woods last fall. I’m from Whitehorse (going to Van Film School now) and was in Haines around the same time as you last year. I try to go every year to get the Coho’s. Some of the pics taken last year are on my website: http://www.brendanpreston.com
Anyways man, just wanted to give you compliments on your work. it’s very inspirational! Oh and if you ever need an assistant or side-kick/second shooter/videographer give me a shout!!!
Cheers,
Brendan Preston
