| Comments: | I had finnish family from the McCall area. My grandmother was Lula Johnson, born on a homestead just outside McCall.Her parents were John and Hannah Johnson. Her brothers stayed on the family farm, Ted and Art. Uncle Art died recently. Of course I realize Their name was not originally Johnson, it was Sampila(sp?). Lula Johnson married Elmer Luoma and later settled in the Clarkston Heights, Washington state.There were likely many Finns who became Johnson when they came to the US.Your website reminded me how important it is to pass this information along to the next generation.

Your page will not take a copy/paste...but it looked like a sparrow's body and the head of a yellow tanager. |

Nice to find your site & great photos. I hope you have found employment/re-employment. Has the college resumed operation? I live in WY, am a pharmacist doing contract work and have an option of spending the next couple months in Sitka. My wife & I are hikers in our early 60's and also like snowshoe trekking. What is each endeavor like around Sitka during Jan-Mar period? Saw a post from your friend in Cody, WY... he is only 25 miles away from me. Thanks, and best wishes. Ralph Bartholomew Powell, WY |

Please tell your parents HI! for us, and hope you are all doing well. Also, if they have an email address. God Bless! Nancy S. |

| Comments: | Your journal is SPECTACULAR! Your soul shines through in all the ways you experience nature and then bring it to others. Thank you for knowing who you are enough to know that staying in Sitka is full of possibilities and that each day or any moment is an adventure. Many people do not have the vision to see the immense life that exists all around them. Bless you for seeing it, photographing it and creating this journal. It is a labor of love and its creativity is powerful.
I could see you finding a way to connect with someone that could help you publish these photos either(and)in a postcard, poster, photojournal genre. I could also see you creating your own trail guide service. I am sure that there are people (I would consider it) that would love to walk with you and put on new eyes with your vision. Thank you!! |

Your description of your wedding was so humorous that I had to look at all the pics there, as well as link to your homepage, only to discover your amazing photojournals. My daughter (she's the one opting for the courthouse wedding) is an amateur naturalist, she loves taking pictures of "flora, fauna and all kinds of critters in between" and like you she has to "know" all about whatever it is she's discovered.

I am enjoying your site. You have compiled quite a picture of the Sitka area. I have just returned from Sitka the 4th of july after having spent 2 weeks there with my 91 year old grandfather and Uncle who lived there for 30 years until 2003. He misses Sitka dearly. (I will send him a link to your site.) While there my grandfather noticed the River Beauty wildflower and brought some plants home to Illnois. I was trying to figure out what they were and your site was a grat help. Thank-you, Eric |

| Comments: | Hi Matt,
I am enjoying your 1000 species project. What an undertaking! Your photos are OUTSTANDING!! They have just gotten better and better over the last couple of years. Have you thought about how to share the pictures with a wider audience? I was going to suggest an art show at SJC, but now that won't be possible, at least for awhile. A book would be great!! I am so sorry about the college! I thought about Sitka every day after we left the first time, and then when we came back as VIM's my ties became even stronger. I can't imagine how it must be for those of you who grew up there. The thought of leaving would be out of the question. I hope you can find a way to stay. Best wishes to you and your family.

| Comments: | Hi Matt,
The 1000 species project is a great idea -- I am enjoying the pictures, and I will continue to follow your progress. Your photography just gets better and better. Have you thought of doing a display on campus? Or publishing a book? You need a wider audience for your wonderful photos! Here in rural Illinois we live on a tiny man-made lake, so once in awhile we do have some interesting birds besides the ubiquitous Canada geese, the resident great blue heron, and the usual back yard birds. Right now a snow goose is hanging around, and last year we saw a couple of trumpeter swans for awhile, plus several kinds of ducks. We have a great view from our kitchen table, so we always have our binoculars and bird book right there, ready to be used. This year we put up a purple martin house, and it immediately attracted purple martins. However, it also attracted sparrows, and for a few days there were feathers flying until the two kinds of birds staked out their own territory. Best wishes -- and greetings to everyone at SJC.

| How did you find this page?: | google for birds in sitka |
| Comments: | Great site, Matt, and I really like the photographs. I do a lot of bird photography myself in the same vein-- some for identification, and some for getting good bird pictures. I live in the Boston area and publish seafood.com news; and I am coming to Sitka for a couple of days this week for the N. Pacific Fisheries Council meetings.
Since I always bring my camera, and not having been to Sitka (although I have often been in Kodiak, Anchorage, and a couple of times to Unalaska)- I went onine to look for what birding opportunities may be available, given I will probably have just a single morning or afternoon to do much. So your site was great as it gave me a heads up as to what birds are around. My primary interest is sea birds on this trip, so i wonder if it is possible to see puffins etc., or if there is a charter that does this kind of thing. Anyway, thanks for the great pictures.

Great pictures! What an awesome site. My thoughts moved more toward what a great history you are leaving for your kids. The comments and pics of the things you've done will mean a great deal to them later. Funny, as I was trying to figure out your site, I noticed that your parents live in Idaho. My reason for looking for Swan Falls was that we are moving in less than 30 days from Sunny Southern California to Melba, Id...call us crazy but Cali is just not what it used to be. The silicone and botox have taken over. I want a better life for my boys (3). Thanks again for your site!! Love it! |

So appreciate the several bird talks you've organized at SJ, and always wish had gotten to more of them. AND appreciate your extraordinary shots and conversational narratives as you further unfold our magnificent surrounds around here! Yesterday scouted and found your recordings of local birds, having been energized to begin listening more carefully after last week's talk! Are there other sites you recommend that include se bird songs? And does last week's fine presenter have her audio recordings posted somewhere? And if so, would you post that site? Again, thanks for being so generous with your talents! |

I hope you don't mind, I have included some of your photo's in my project (I have cited you and your website to do so). Of the Gold-thread, I have only found a few other pictures in guide books which do not capture the various phases, or the delicacy, or wonder of it like you have. Thank-you again for posting your pictures. Best Wishes for your continued photography! Sincerely, Dana |

You know, we are so not familiar about the lingonberry here, Taiwan. So I tried to found a good picture to show the class what is lingonberry. The picture would not be used any other than that lecture. Please let me konw if you do not allow me to use. Thank you very much! Milka2, form Taiwan |

I had the opportunity to visit Sitka back in September of 2004. My brother Buddy Jodway from PA was there in the community hospital with a brain tumor. He past in Oct of that year. Inspite of the reason I was there, I found Sitka to be the most beautiful place I have ever been. I tell everyone Bud only had to step over Mt Edgecombe to be in Heaven, as Sitka has to be the closest place to Heaven on Earth. Your pictures brink back to mind how much I loved it there. If not for the fact my grandsons were here in NY I believe I would have stayed there myself. |

| Comments: | Hi Matt. I live in Schenectady NY and my daughter lives in Ft Collins CO. She took some pictures of ice patterns that appeared on Horsetooth Reservoir last spring, and I have been trying to see if anything similar has been reported on the Internet. Your patterns are the closest I have seen.
I would like to send Joyce's patterns to you and see if you have any ideas about how they were formed. Actually I have a very unusual mathematical explanation for them, and I was pleased that you were a mathematician, so you might comment on my explanation. I will look on your homepage for an email address and will send a couple of pictures to you. Your comments would be greatly appreciated. I will send my explanation later. I would like your top-of-the-head thoughts first. Ted Mihran |

| Comments: | Hi Matt,
Max and I are giving a powerpoint presentation at our little church in Illinois next Sunday (about our experience as VIMs at SJC). I used GOOGLE to find a picture of a hiking trail in Sitka, and your website came up. I've spent the last half hour just browsing through some of your pictures. This site is truly "awesome" -- a word I don't use very often. I copied a couple of pictures to show in our presentation: the boardwalk down from the Harbor Mountain picnic and one of the bridges on the Cross Trail. I hope that's ok. How is everthing at SJC? We miss all of you a whole lot!!! Bonnie |

I have just moved to Sitka and I have been trying to find maps that tell me the names of the mountains. I know Gavin Hill, Verstovia, Harbor Mountain, the Sisters, Cross Mountain, but I have been wanting to find out about the rest of them. Your site was really helpful (and beautiful). I emailed the URL to my family to encourage them to get up here and visit me. Do you know of a source online that identifies all the ridges, peaks and mountains? |

I'm about 95% recovered now. I'm taking blood pressure medication, and I quit a 40 year cigarette habit. I'm glad I'm still able to enjoy your site.
I feel like I know you and your family from your photos. Your kids are very cute. I doubt I'll ever get to Sitka unless I win the lottery. It sure is a pretty area. The kind of place I'd like to live in once I retire. My hard drive crashed last week and I lost your site address. I panicked until found it 10 minutes ago. Thanks for all the photos.

| How did you find this page?: | Actually , I started out looking for plant picture for my Herbal jounrnal. But the photography picted my interest and I just kept "browsing". |
| Comments: | I was enthralled with all the photos. My daughter , I am sure will get ideas on how to use her camera as well, after I share them. ( I now have your site bookmarked )
I do a lot of herbal studies(self teaching) and like to have photos when I can find good ones. By far yours are some of the best. Could I inquire as to the type camera you have been useing? And the type of lens/filters? I just aquired a Cannon AE and will be doing alot of practicing. I wanted to comment on your photos taken in North Carolina. In one of the photos taken of some fallen trees(probably due to some of our floods as a result of the hurricane season). In the comments under the piture you wondered what kind of trees and what the protrusions at their bases were. Well, can't swear, but from my time there, I can presume to say they were a type of cypres,and the protrusions are "knees". The purpose, I learned as a child is to enable the trees to "breathe". Though , I doubt this is the real reason or purpose. If you are intested, you might check out cypres trees (a protected species through out the US), Florida seems to have the highest concentration. I search my data files, but alas that file and those links must have fried with the last comp. Well, happy shutter-buggin" thank you for sharing. Lady Jessi |

You'll find on my site strange pictures of green flash. I found a green flash in your picture by adjusting it by means of Photoshop, setting levels to the right side, thus in the dark area. I a way, it would correspond to an underexposed setting. One question, was the bridge named after D. J. K. O'Connell author of “The Green Flash and Other Low Sun Phenomena” (North Holland, Amsterdam, 1958) ? Please give me your e-mail address, I will send you the adjusted picture Regards, Joe MARECHAL, Dr.Sc. |

I "stumbled upon my website accidentally and then spent far more time than they intended looking at the pictures I have taken and reading about the things I have done." Great stuff. My wife and I live in the midwest but try and get to AK as much as possible. We spend a few days in Wrangell a while back. I enjoyed looking at your pics as they bring back delightful memories. In my position here at the U of MN I always love to get picture of natural rivers in all seasons. We use them on our website and in presentations since we work on river research. Anything you want to show off let me know and I'd be sure to give your images due credit. Cheers, JDM |

| Comments: | Dig your pics. If you have any links that will lead to road maps of the great owyhee wilderness, that would be great. I have witnessed a couple of marriages at canyon county courthouse, but never one via the web. Kinda cool. Thanks, Kevin |

| Comments: | Your photography is beautiful. I'm from Sitka, but I'm living very far away at the moment- in Japan. It's so wonderful to see Sitka captured as beautifully as I remember it. Thank you for sharing your photos. -Oh! I had assumed I didn't know the photographer. I just saw your name- Hi Matt! |

| Comments: | Hello Matt & family, I love your pictures, especially the ones from Alaska and North Sister. I lived in Alaska for a year in 93-94 and it is a magical place. Your photos render it rather well. I'm preparing for a 4-month "photojournal" type excursion to the West (I'm in Ohio, YUK!) and if my shots come out half as nice as yours, I'll be very happy. Keep up the great work!! Peace, Jon |
