Winter Blues

No, I’m not sad. In fact, I’m pretty opposite of sad these days. Looking to take advantage of my time home during this week-long break, Saturday found me scampering around the back-country with my mother on a pair of cross-country skis. While I won’t be trying out for the Olympic team any time soon, I [...]

Catch Magazine Issue #9

- What a way to kick off the new year! The first installment of Catch Magazine in 2010 is simply amazing, but you don’t have to take my word for it. You don’t have to enjoy the breathtaking photo essays full of trout, snowy landscapes, and crystal clear water. But if you really want to, [...]

A Rare Glimpse…

- While I’m still playing catch-up, I thought it only fair that I throw a few more sneak peaks your way. I’m working on the full recap and hope to post it tonight. Whether that will happen or not is another story.. These are before/after shots of my moose. The first shot was taken during [...]

Rusted

- Mid October has long been one of my favorite times of the year. With hunting season just getting underway, temperatures dropping dramatically, and frosty mornings becoming a regular occurrence, the tell-tail signs of winter are showing up throughout the Saint John Valley.

Heavenly Views

- For those of us who are fortunate enough to reside in the area, the Allagash is a gem among a wealth of average stones. While I’ve seen thousands of pictures from all over the pristine north’s rugged landscape, few have played on my heart strings more than these recent ones taken by local Darlene [...]

Sunday Brunch

- As I prepare for a long day of housekeeping and writing, check out a few neat shots from Muskie fishing guide Brad Plourde. Check back later today for a slew of updates and other fly fishing related nonsense. Its catch-up day on Up’North! Tight Lines, -Ben :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: [...]

My Lense-The Soldier Pond Bridge

The Soldier Pond bridge is one of my absolute favorite places in the world, which explains why I can never seem to snap enough pictures of it while I’m fishing on, under, or anywhere around it! Here are a few of my favorites…. …and many more to come next week! Tight Lines, -Ben :: :: [...]

Oldies But Goodies

Some early photography from a few of my favorite places in the world. It’s amazing how a single picture can bring back a flood of memories. Enjoy! Tight Lines, -Ben :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: :: ::

Show me the Muskie!

- With the Fort Kent Muskie Derby starting tomorrow (Friday the 7th) more monster Muskie will be taken from the Saint John River and it’s tributaries than during any other time this season. To claim your place atop the Up’North Muskie Fishing Elite, Proof is most certainly required. By Proof I mean pictures, and lots [...]
