I am honored that the Frye Museum in Seattle found my image of Rie Muoz and requested to use it in their online video "Guided Artwork Discussion: Rie Muoz." Rie was an amazing artist and I started collecting her work when I was an undergraduate at the University of Alaska Fairbanks between 1974-1978.
I never thought I would meet her. She was way too famous. But, when I moved to Starr Hill in downtown Juneau with my wife, Rie became our neighbor and friend. Over the years, I was fortunate to have taken a number of portrait sessions with Rie. This image is my favorite portrait of Rie, and one of my most favorite portraits that I ever had the opportunity to take.

Every year, I usually receive both of Mark's calendars for Juneau and Southeast. This year, I didn't get the same presents but I contacted Mark and asked if he may possibly be able to sign one of two calendars I ordered to be shipped to me. He signed both!!! I'm so thankful for such a warm hearted and talented Juneau photographer. Thank you Mark!
