Hello! This is Scott Kemp, your host here at Saltery Lodge. This page offers a glimpse of Alaska photos I have taken here in Southeast Alaska. Nearly all of the photos were taken by myself, mostly around Saltery Lodge. You can see my select few below, which are sized for desktop wallpaper applications, or you can see them all in smaller version at the Photo Gallery.

I usually carry a point and shoot digital wherever I go since they are portable and you never know when that great photograph is going to present itself. You may only have seconds to capture it. When I plan, I take my Canon D30 digital with EF lenses. I know its a dinosaur, but I am waiting for the D5 MK ii to ship.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy these...

This is a picture from today, June 18, 2008 from Saltery Lodge in Loring, Alaska. We have a patch of Indian Paintbrush that is out on the point next to the lodge. This flower blooming combined with a sunny day makes for a great picture.

This is a picture from today, June 3, 2008 from Saltery Lodge in Loring, Alaska. This is the remains of the boiler of the wreck of the Ancon from over a century ago. I had to get in the skiff to get just the right angle. See the history page for more information about the wreck.

This is a picture from July, 2006. We were anchored up off Duke Island, getting ready to go halibut fishing in the morning. There were a couple commercial fishing boats in the same cove as us, and boy do they start early! I was also up early and took this picture about 5am. I saw it coming with the background sun and I just started taking pictures, making sure I got the sun alignment I was wanting.
