Sometimes keeping your head down is the best way to find a photographic image. This illustration of a fall storm slammed into to me on a rainy day in the parking lot of a local grocery store

Some say it’s never happened before, others say it’s been 40 years … But the family of Trumpeter Swans that have chosen Potter Marsh for a nesting site this season have been an absolute delight to watch through the summer season. Soon they will be off on their migratory journey to the midwestern region of the country.

My wife, the Master Gardener

My sweet wife is a Master Gardener. I am allowed to haul bags of dirt, and work from a distance, which is probably a good thing for all concerned. Usually, I work at dinneenphoto.com

Happy Bride

Working with Michael was a pleasure! After viewing his portfolio, I contacted him via his website and he responded within 12 hours. We immediately set an appointment to meet and make sure that our expectations were in line and discuss the details of my wedding. Within a week of my wedding, we met at the site to go over specific day of the event timelines and solidify our rainy day options. Michael was kind and courteous with our guests and captured our event professionally and wonderfully. His assistant was also courteous and effective. Our photos were lovely and delivered very quickly!

MARCH VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH CLARKE BROWN

James Clarke Kid’s Kitchen volunteer.

When the Anchorage School District discovered that a number of children were arriving at school with empty stomachs Monday mornings, the Food Band of Alaska launched a weekend food program at Mt. View Elementary via the Children’s Lunch Box.

The program has grown to include seven Title 1 schools, and for the past four years, an eclectic group of volunteers led by Children’s Lunch Box super volunteer Clark Browne has met twice a month to spend a furious two hours packing lunch bags.

In that short time, the group of 20-some volunteers will assemble 2,500 – 3,000 lunch bags filled with items like oatmeal, breakfast bars, canned goods and ramen which will be distributed on Fridays to ensure the children have supplemental food for the weekend.

Brown is also involved with the Food Bank of Alaska, where he was instrumental in setting a record of 15.5 tons of food being donated in their annual 24-hour, door-to-door food drive.
