since I don't spend much time anywhere else and all the people I connect with here on dgrin seem to be here on this forum. I thought I might as well share this here with my friends. I went to the Iditarod XXXVII this last Sunday and had a marvelous time shooting pics of dogs, people and stuff. If you would like to see a breakdown of what I did as well as a commentary...you can see the journal style gallery HERE. If you want to see more images I took without commentary...take a peek HERE.

Although I have done Iditarod pics in the past few years...this year I think is one of my better years for capturing the event! Let me know what you think!

    Hey, JAG, these are quite good. I loved the journal-style gallery. And your images are crisp and colorful. Love the dog shots! Good job!

    Thanks Jeff! Yeah I liked how the journal style turned out too. Makes the story behind the picture much more interesting!

    Joyce. I so enjoy your work! I'll admit the only connection I know to the Iditorod is from the movie "Snow Dogs",
    which I'm sure isn't even close to reality! Your pictures are fantastic! Thanks for sharing, always look forward to what you have to share with us!
    Someday, I would like to see these races in real life, it's on my list of things to do!!!!!

    Simply Fabulous...I Loved It! What a great display of photo journalistic photos. AWESOME. So cute, the dogs wear "boots".

    Peace,

    Haven't had a chance to go through these yet but I want my daughter to see them - she's been fascinated by iditarods since they did a story at school about them (and she's a dog lover anyway). Can't wait to go through the gallery with her!

    I hope she does like them too. They have great classroom programs for schools. Kids really love to learn about the iditarod and they can track the mushers online at iditarod.com which is the official site.

    Our family friend DeeDee Johnrowe was in 16th last I looked. But she is not running as fast as she did last year.ne_nau.gif

    wow, that's great! very informative... thanks for all that extra info. i was surprised to see all the different types of dogs - i had always just assumed it'd be malamutes, huskies, and the like.

    and for the record, the 'bunsen burner' is a jet boil. it's a camp stove system that boils water really really quickly, so it's perfect for out there.

    thanks for sharing!

    Outstanding! I am soooo jealous, I have always wanted to come see the Iditarod... You should post some of these in the journeys or sport forums... Great job! Do you have much luck marketing and selling these to the Mushers?
