More photos from Alaska - May, 2010

Jason Thompson, our lead guide for the AK seminar this past May, created some short films about the course, starring... US! Haha I saw him off in the distance filming a few times, and always wondered what some of those images looked like... so I took some of the video and created stills from it. They turned out pretty cool. He's a good photographer/videographer! :-)

(I'm the one in the red jacket in all of them.)
