I was supposed to fly out of town yesterday, but instead I got chronic fog and a John Hagen moment.

I’ll give the flight another go today, but in the meantime - those simple, complex landscapes! Those natural black and whites! Those deep winter Alaska feelings!

If you’re in Anchorage in the next few days, check out John’s exhibit on the mighty Chilkat at APU’s Grant Hall.

All the best.
