Photography

Outside of gregari.us LLC's consulting work, our founder shoots fine art photography — mostly Alaska wildlife and landscape, along with black-and-white travel work. Four series from that archive are below, starting with the current show, Postcards from the Valley. Prints are available on request.

Current Show

Postcards from the Valley

Matanuska Valley, Alaska · 14 Photographs · 2026

These are postcards from the place I live. The Matanuska Valley announces itself — the water tower over downtown Palmer, mail waiting along the Glenn, a swan the size of a kayak putting its wings up on a quiet lake. I've photographed farther places, but the pictures I keep coming back to are the ones from home: the light we get here, seasons that don't do anything halfway, and the small familiar landmarks that tell you exactly where you are. Every photograph in this show was made in and around the Valley. If one of them feels like home to you too, that's the point.

Series I

Talons in the Cold

Bald Eagles · Interior & Coastal Alaska · 2005–2008

Across several winters between 2005 and 2008, I returned again and again to the same stretch of Alaska river ice to watch bald eagles do the unglamorous work of surviving. These aren't portraits of a national symbol — they're studies of a predator negotiating hunger, weather, and rivals: a wing torn open mid-strike, two birds grappling over a single fish, a landing that reads more like a controlled collision than an arrival. Shot in the flat light and hard cold of an Alaska winter, this series asks you to see the eagle stripped of its iconography — not an emblem on a coin, but a working animal doing what it takes to reach spring.

Series II

The Great Land

Alaska Landscape · Glaciers, Rivers & Tidal Flats · 2004–2022

Alaska's old nickname, “The Great Land,” undersells the disorientation of actually standing in it. This series moves through glaciers, tidal flats, and single-lane bridges that seem to end in nowhere, tracking the small, temporary marks people leave — a road, a shipwreck, a lone walker — against a landscape indifferent to all of it. Shot over nearly two decades and three different cameras, the throughline isn't a single place so much as a feeling: the specific quiet of land too big to fully see.

Series III

Stone and Breath

Street Photography · Prague, Czech Republic · March 2019

Prague in March 2019, shot entirely in black and white: an astronomical clock older than the printing press, a busker mid-note, a crowd of strangers chasing a child's soap bubbles across a cobblestone square. The city's stone holds five centuries without apparent effort; the people passing through it hold a single afternoon. This series places those two timescales side by side and lets the monochrome flatten them into the same visual register, so a gothic spire and a startled pigeon carry equal weight.
