In September I spent five days in the Yup'ik village of Quinhagak in southwest AK. As in the previous post (below), I was taking images for a "Beyond the Road" feature to be published in First Alaskans Magazine. I thought it would be fun to share the magazine layout as well as a selection of "final" images so you can see what I submitted and what the designer chose.
Quinhagak is a special village for me because a good friend of mine, John O. Mark, was born and raised there and it's wonderful to be able to visit with him and his family. I owe him, and his wife Grace, a huge thank you for putting me up and feeding me the entire time!
The opening double-page spread is above, following are the other eight pages of the final layout.
As always, Annette at First Alaskans did a great job. I of course, wish every image made it in as a two page spread!
Here is a good sampling of the images I submitted: (click image to view larger size)
