Adobe + Alaska Stock = Convenience

I have to admit, I think Adobe is the best thing to happen to designers and photographers this decade. The interface between applications, tools and attention to digital developments make Adobe workspaces incredibly convenient.

Did you know you can find a selection of Alaska Stock's Royalty Free offerings through your Adobe Bridge browser? As the sole contributing Alaskan agency to Adobe Stock Photos via our partner, IPN, Alaska Stock RF can be quickly accessed through Adobe Bridge by choosing File > Browse from any of the Adobe Creative Suite® family products. But wait ... it gets better: You can also access images from our sister agency, http://www.stockpilephotos.com/.

StockPile is a collection of royalty-free stock photos made by a wide-range of talented photographers and spans the gamut of global life experiences including: adventure sports, the natural world, everyday life, travel, holidays, food, home, wildlife, art and conceptual visions.

Don't have the Creative Suite, yet? Just check out the latest Holiday RF (tons of new images) by clicking here:

Okay, it's a shameless ploy on my part, but I can't help being proud about the way Alaska Stock has grown (even if I am ever-so-slightly biased)!

Downtown Wildlife!

I remember the first month that I lived in Alaska, I awakened one morning to my radio alarm clock announcing that there was a grizzly bear roaming around downtown and that everyone should stay away until the bear was captured for transport outside the city.

I remember thinking "we're not in Kansas anymore."

Currently a young brown bear (grizzly) has been spotted multiple times roaming around downtown Anchorage. While it has not been acting aggressively, the Fish and Game authorities are keeping a close eye on it and hoping to relocate the bear to a more appropriate location.

This year seems to be a good year for the bear; the last three years have produced many healthy cubs living in the wilds on the outskirts of Anchorage and Eagle River. These "yearlings" are now making their way closer and into the cities. Currently, Fish and Game are tracking a total of eight young brown bears living in and around Anchorage!
