Alaskan Trapper Cabin
One of my favorite photos I have taken was also during one of the coldest experiences my hands have ever endured. On a 20-below night under a full moon, the northern lights danced overhead of this original Alaskan trapper cabin. Stomping through hip-deep snow, I had to take my hands in and out of my gloves to set the frame. Your bare skin only has a few minutes at 20 below before the circulation slows and blood stops flowing to the exposed extremities. I sat there and waited for the lights to dance in this perfect pattern as the moon and the aurora lit up the cabin and snow-covered trees. Throughout the 20th century, trappers would set lines along the rivers during the winter months, connecting multiple cabins along the way. Staying for months at a time, many nights had to be similar to this scene: a cold, silent night spent alone in the Alaskan wilderness.
Image is printed on a sheet of Canson Baryta Photographique II Fine Art Paper to give it a glossy finish brining out the colors and detail, with a 1” border. Frame is only available for 13”×19” prints. Limited edition prints.
