The "Summer Thaw"

(Arctic Ocean Thawing)

The storm season is over and the midnight sun is upon us here at Thule.  We have not seen the sun actually set since late April and will not see it set until late August.  This has been a very weird experience and does mess with a person and their sense of time when we are out seeing the sights and exploring the area.  This makes for a fun weekend of adventures and photographs, however the beauty of the snow is giving way to the return of the mud season.  The summer “thaw” has produced some amazing sights and also has the wildlife active as the fox, hare, and migrating birds and is about to bring their young into the world in this unique environment.  Their search for food, dens, and nesting areas has provided some unique photography opportunities. 

Stay tuned for more pictures as the seasons change here at Thule!

Greenland - An Experience Like No Other

When I told friends that I volunteered to come to a location located 750 miles above the Arctic Circle for a year.  While this location is remote, if you have the courage to experience the environment, this can be a great place to spend your time away from civilization.  The daylight has returned to this majestic place and activities are keeping me very busy.  This past weekend showed me another side of this place that left me in awe.  I got the opportunity to meet local Inuit hunters and watch a sled dog race across the Arctic Ocean as part of Armed Forces Day. It was breathtaking.  Here are a few pictures to share some of the fun with you all!

Hope you enjoy.

A Beginning From Encouragement

Welcome to the NEW Brofoto Productions blog.  Brofoto Productions became a reality after friends and family encouraged me to make my hobby something more.  The idea first came to fruition thanks to my sister-in-law, Lesley, and her comments about some of my pictures.  From there my wife helped me see this dream come true.  Thanks to the US Air Force I have had the pleasure to travel frequently to some amazing places and I have shared some of those places and adventures for you on the Brofoto Productions Facebook page.  Stay tuned, this is just the beginning!

Below is one of my favorite pictures, and the first winning picture I have taken.
