Cold, wet, windy weather this week in Alaska. John Landry of Angler's Alibi and I pushed through it to have some memorable moments with a good number of brown bears. The word "epic" is appropriate to describe the last few days.

Every year I look forward to when temperatures cool down a bit in the fall, and the big rams come down to graze, fight, and find ewes. They are so preoccupied that they are fairly indifferent to photographers.

Spring is an exciting time for wildlife photographers in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. Bears and other animals reemerge, and a variety of weather conditions from spring snowstorms to bluebird sunny days along with longer days presents plenty of opportunities for photographers. But this range of conditions and changing terrain can also make for more gear considerations. In this post, I break down top recommendations for what to pack for gear and clothing for spring photography travel to the Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park regions.

Photographers who spend time in the wilderness and traveling should always have safety at the forefront of their minds. Injuries and accidents often happen in the home, but when we mix in travel, road, rail, planes, helicopters, tough terrain, trails, rivers, seas, mountains, wildlife, and more, the need to be more mindful and prepared increases exponentially. A "better safe than sorry" approach can go a long way, and it's my way of operating when in the field, traveling, and guiding. In a new article on the Bighorn Wilderness Tours website, I recommended safety gear items for wilderness, travel, and adventure photographers. See more:

Ancient artifacts, pyramids, off-roading in the Saharan Desert — there were many highlights of the Egypt trip, but the most fun I had was probably on the streets of Cairo. For one afternoon and evening, I observed a mix of traditions, generations, cultures, and beliefs walking ancient roads and enjoying the market. The Ramadan fast was coming to an end, and many people were getting ready to break the fast. When that time was near, people were even handing out food to people passing by. I could have spent days exploring the market.

Egypt was quite the experience. The trip was somewhat unplanned. A few weeks before leaving, I was faced with figuring out what to do with a sizable flight credit before it was to expire. And somewhat randomly, I booked a flight to Cairo. And the morning of departure, I quickly packed a single backpack with some essentials, a small Sony A7CR camera, and small 28mm and 50mm lenses.

After several long flights, I was in Cairo in the middle of the night and excited to imagine what I'd see when the sun came up. The Middle East and North Africa were new to me, and each day was extraordinary. Old Cairo, the Pyramids and Sphinx of Giza, Alexandria, Memphis, Saqqara, Wadi Al-Hitan and its whale fossils, and more left me in awe each day.

The final day was the day that the war began in Iran. Rather than exploring the streets of Cairo with a camera, I stayed put in the hotel until night when it was time to go to the airport. The U.S. Embassy instructed Americans to keep a low profile, avoid tourist or heavily policed areas, and more. Shortly after departure, the airport was named as a potential target for retaliation, and not long after returning home, the State Department urged Americans to "depart now via commercial means due to serious safety risks." Though I had concerns, I never felt unsafe, and a couple of inconveniences I experienced were nothing like what others in the Middle East were experiencing. But it was an eventful day that I will always remember. A small plug: Before leaving the U.S., I did upgrade my Global Rescue membership to include extraction services — something that brought a great deal of peace of mind. I am an ambassador for Global Rescue and do some work with them, but this is because I am a big fan and not because compensation influences my opinion. I do encourage people to learn more about what they offer via the link below.

I hope to go back. I want to see Luxor and Aswan and get another day in Cairo. War will now have a big impact on travel to the countries in that region, and in addition to the many tragedies that come with war, the unrest will greatly impact the people in all of the places I visited, even if there is no violence in Egypt. Tourism-based economies often can't sustain such volatility. I hope the chaos ends soon, and people can soon experience Egypt as I did.

When the rams come down to pursue ewes in the fall, they exhibit an intensity that seems to only be subdued by exhaustion. The male bighorn sheep aggressively assert dominance toward one another while chasing the females with reckless abandon. It's a spectacle that I look forward to every year.
