The Art of Hiking
Greg Bledsoe, 34, lives in Juneau with his dog, Marshall. Bledsoe works as a database administrator for the National Marine Fisheries Service, but his passion is hiking and kayaking.
Back
Bledsoe enjoys hiking with just Marshall, but last year, he joined the Juneau Alpine Club and discovered a new world of outdoor experiences. Through the club, he has met many wonderful people, developed new skills, and explored beautiful places, he said.
All of Bledsoe's images are taken with a compact digital camera that he keeps close at hand. Many images are taken in inhospitable conditions, like rain and snow, and in precarious positions, like steep snowfields and mountaintops.
When taking pictures, Bledsoe hopes to capture some of the experience and scenery to later share with friends and family. Using digital photography, he can select and post his images on the Internet quickly.
