A boy fishes for silvers at Eklutna Tail Race, sleeves rolled and hat brim low, standing in blue-green water.
Clouds reflect on the water and narrow ripples fan out from his boots. Reeds and his bright bobber near the shore make the waiting feel possible.
I shot several in this Eklutna series, but this is my favorite.

My "Bold Grizzly Shares the Road" captures a spring moment from the Alaska Highway.
A golden-brown grizzly moves through tender green shoots and dry stems, fur catching the light and its presence both powerful and composed, anchored by earth tones and textured fur.
Which detail grabs you first — the gaze, the curve of the back, or the way the light skims the fur?

Spires and palms balance civic grandeur with approachable scale, the statue of Vittorio Emanuele II poised against the Duomo's layered silhouette.
Bring a touch of Milanese elegance to your space, with creamy stone and fresh greens. The equestrian figure lends an angular authority. (I never leave authorities unquestioned!)
Where would you place this in your home?

Does your life bring fireworks? Why not make it explicit?
Like these cascading fireworks above moonlit Provincetown harbor.
The vertical sweep pulls the eye from sky to shore, where a ribbon of pier lights and silhouetted figures give the scene its scale.
I love sharing my July Fourth moment from Provincetown, MA. See it on the site: https://buff.ly/QyhmaHn.

When you crick your neck to look up at the Freedom Tower in NYC, lines and angles read like converging unity, 25 years after that terrible day.
The upward pull and restrained palette give it a calm presence that steadies us.
These days, we all need some steadying.

Totem, a Border Collie/Akita mix, smiles in a dashing purple bandana among pale lavender, and that friendly look feels like a small, hopeful hello.
"Totem Smiles in Lavender." I still miss her every day.
I love how the purple ties the scene together and how the pose suggests a pause after play rather than stiffness.

"Pastoral" offers an open pasture on a sunny day, just as we imagine it to be. A weathered fence draws the eye toward a layered treeline.
Here I feel one of my images approaches the POV of Janet Dyer's beautiful paintings, which we also host.
I like the feeling of space and order, with little details—a broken post, a faint path—that make the scene feel lived in.
Where would you hang it?

"Alaskan Blue Columbine Charm" unfolds purple petals around a white and yellow center. Soft, natural hues highlight fine detail so the bloom holds its own.
I was drawn to the pale yellow center: a small sun pulling your eye inward.
See it here: https://www.chrisboese.photo/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art_print_products/blue-columbine. What do you notice first?

I love shooting my mom's Alaska trollius. Missed it this year due to the late spring.
The small yellow bloom sits against a soft green field, petals folding like a tiny sun. The layered center feels curious and calm, a simple, bright moment that asks nothing more than a second look.
What small glimpse of nature lifts your day?

"WE ARE THE GRANDDAUGHTERS OF THE WITCHES YOU WEREN'T ABLE TO BURN" proclaimed into a washed sky. I loved the punch of pink around key words and the small all-seeing eye.
"END GUN VIOLENCE," "NOT ENOUGH SAGE IN THE WORLD," "SAVE OUR KIDS," and fierce faces that turn wry and unmistakably human. Urgency mixed with stubborn, playful defiance lingers like an earworm on your eye.

"Youth Fishing Derby — Eklutna Tailrace." A boy fishes for silver salmon during the run.
Vivid turquoise and the ripples circle the angler, his waiting and hope. The shaded bank frames open water like a doorway as the rest of the day on the distant bank quietly carries on.
I think it makes a calm, grounding accent for a reading nook or study.

I silhouetted this mounted general against dramatic clouds, a posture that shows man's authority undermined by the larger forces of nature. I like these little twists!
His raised leg and forward gaze read as readiness, as storms swirl all around. Dark shapes and subtle surface details give the piece an measured presence that reveals historical ambiguity.

John Cusack would SAY ANYTHING. We say what we must.
A placard reads ABOLISH ICE against the brick facade of a detention facility in Elizabeth, NJ.
I share it because it names what happened: families separated and children held alone. The message is plain, urgent, impossible to ignore.
If it sparks a question or a conversation, we welcome it. https://www.chrisboese.photo/warehouse-open-edition-prints/art_print_products/chris-boese-say-anything

Ocean waves wash polished stones over an alligator-shaped log on Herring Cove Beach on the Cape Cod National Seashore.
I saw the pebbles along the log’s lower edge catch the light as bands of surf move from pale turquoise to deeper teal with white foam.

An easy afternoon on the Rhine. People sit on stepped embankments, a green skiff bobs by orange buoys, as the steep roofs and single spire across the water give the scene its shape.
Small touches—bicycle against a post, dog at someone’s feet—make it lived in and unhurried.
Where would you hang it? Near where you lunch?

"Wild Geranium Pistil," a small discovery from Alaska. The close up centers the crisp edges of the pistil.
Minty greens and chalky silvers coat the leaves. The gentle purple keeps the scene balanced, and slender red styles are tiny punctuation marks across the frame.

In what world is this even remotely controversial? And yet we must make the case, and let the little child lead us.
The child in a white lab coat holds a hand-lettered sign that makes you grin: "Without Science, Bill Nye would just be 'The Guy.'"
His mother carries a fluorescent yellow poster that reads "Thank you Science for my Greatest Gift: Proud IVF Mom."

A line of neighbors along a sunlit road in Palmer, Alaska: flags, bold signs, and mountains keeping watch.
This is "Red State Resilience: Alaska No Kings Protest," because it captures the mix of resolve and everyday life so clearly. The steady procession gives the scene a quiet, insistent energy that feels immediate and human.

A bold call: "THINK while it is still legal." A powerful visual statement to nudge critical thinking.
The sky-blue sign reads like a moment pulled from the crowd—urgent, a little wry, impossible to ignore.
Put this where conversations happen: a hallway, a study, or the place where friends drop in and linger. Where would you hang it? Who in your family most needs this message?!
