Admiring it from across the bay, I can’t help but be reminded of the Matterhorn and the fact that Valdez is considered “Alaska’s Switzerland”. But “Sugarloaf”? Please. No.

Sugarloaf, Valdez, Alaska. 10/5/2025. Fujifilm xPro-3.

This mountain deserves a much more magnificent name than “Sugarloaf”.

Just the perfect amount of dreary this early morning in Valdez.

I racked up more than twice my highest-ever yearly art revenue in JUST TWO DAYS! I’m so humbled, ya’ll. Thank you for believing in my work and for investing in my creative process! Definitely hoping to do this market again next year!

This was my first artisan market and @cozycollectiveak and @briannareagan_creates made me feel not only like I belonged, but that I was already part of an amazing, expanded artist community! On top of that, #Fairbanks really showed up and really enjoyed my work!

Phew! Finally finding some time to think about the last month, all I’ve done, and everything it’s meant to me, especially participating in Cozy Collective Artisan Market!

Excited to offer this #cyanotype #workshop through @uafsummersessions this next month as a fundraiser for the #photoprogram at @uafairbanks ! I’ll be doing this workshop pro bono with all my regular compensation going directly to purchasing #darkroom and digital #photo supplies and equipment!

Excited to share this relatively recent #altpro #mordancage print with a new audience - I’ve never shown any work in PA!

Picked up these amazing #pendleton sleeves for my #analoguepocket and #nintendoswitch while I was at #PRGE this weekend. Definitely think I’ll be mobile gaming more b/c of them!

Valdez Harbor in Fog, 10/5/25. Fujifilm x-Pro3.

So many great shots from this early morning excursion into the mist.

Waking early, we waited out the rain, but the fog wouldn’t lift nearly as easily. It was still magical. Wouldn’t be a good photography trip if I didn’t get inspired by obscene levels of minimalism. The bird floating in the foreground completed the composition quite well.

Ear to the ground, heart on the stone. I truly hope more of us start listening.

J. Jason Lazarus @jjasonlazarus.bsky.social · 11d

feel as if I’m touching the delicate nerve endings of Mother Nature herself. I feel it’s the most appropriate way to apologize for human kind’s shortsightedness, arrogance, and destruction: to connect, to quietly grieve, and yet to stand in awe and wonder in her presence.

Deeply enjoyed the hike back to Worthington’s toe, climbing farther back than ever, solemnly recognizing how quickly we’re losing this silent giant. For some reason, glaciers connect me most to Alaska’s unparalleled uniqueness. I feel more in-tune with the spiritual among them,

I showed them my favorite long drive. I might have thought I was done with “Resilient”, but it’s in my DNA now. I did take the challenge I gave myself a few years back seriously and looked to start incorporating the shoulder seasons in my work. It was an incredibly fruitful trip.
