100 Days in Glacier National Park

Mt. Reynolds, Logan Pass, Glacier National Park, Montana

 

In honor of Glacier National Park's centennial in 2010, photographer Chris Peterson, who runs Glacier Park Magazine and works for the Hungry Horse News weekly paper, decided to spend 100 consecutive days photographing in the park. He published a blog of his photos and will produce a special edition of the magazine. You can see some of his photos, read the captions detailing his adventures and learn more about his project at the links below.

100 Days in the Park

Glacier Park Magazine

Some of you might consider a project similar to this in your own area. It doesn't have to be a national park nor does it have to be 100 straight days. But any dedicated time spent photographing one subject yields photographs you wouldn't have made otherwise. My colleague John Snell has spent years photographing in Kentucky's Red River Gorge. His efforts have culminated in a book, Red River Gorge---The Eloquent Landscape, and three full-color calendars. Enjoy the adventure!

Help for Animals in Haiti

All of us have been affected by the stories and pictures of devastation in Haiti from the earthquake. Many have donated money, goods and services generously to help bring succor to the citizens of the capital.

I'd like to make a personal request that you remember the animals, domestic and wild, affected by this tragedy as well. Consider making a donation to the Humane Society, the ASPCA or other animal service organizations by visiting their websites.

Thanks!
