heiheihei! no no, not you, not you… YOU! yes, you are the one. hang tight a second and promise you’ll try to enjoy a few of these words before skipping over the images – because if you don’t, you’ll end up back here anyway waiting for a few of them to load. i just couldn’t help myself – dawson city was on the brink of two blog posts, but i decided to flood this single post with 35 images instead, so give me an extra second up here!
a few days earlier while we were in adorable little keno, which by the way, was named after the gambling game, a few locals told us to try and push dawson city back toward the end of the week as far as we could. because things just… weren’t open yet, it was spring thaw and we were in the tail end of it. we arrived on wednesday, and the bakery opened thursday. the ice cream shop was training new staff for the real tourist season we were ahead of. the ice bridge to the other side of town had just melted, and the ferry didn’t go in ’til saturday, or take the first campground we rolled into… “we’re… open, if you like, but our toilets & showers are still frozen”. mmm, yeah – problematic isn’t it. we did find one campground just outside of town where we were able to pitch our tents for three nights straight, which may not seem like a big deal, but after days and days of driving and throwing our tents together & apart in darkness on frozen tundra – it was the biggest treat of our trip.
dawson was like that for us, we had just knocked out the dempster highway, and here we were ready to settle down for a few days to really enjoy a slower pace, throwin’ rocks at icebergs, complete meals (nutella WITH bread), hours of hiking, sunsets from the top of the world, and even ice cream in the sunshine. that’s the great thing about dawson city, there are dozens of things you know you wanted to come for, and about another dozen that you didn’t even know existed but are ready for you too. like gold panning!
dawson city, i’ll see you again this winter!

Jean Escueta - Hey there Sean,
This is superb, just cant believe how much you’ve grown!
Your work is touching, the yukon trips very dreamy, the workshops you mentioned yesterday i think that would suit you really well. Ive always wanted to attend other photographer workshops offer in the U.S but the northen lights will be very unique and original I highly support!
This is exactly the blog that I recently found and wanted to create, what a coincidence?
I don know what else to say other than I would love to reconnect with you and catch up so much has happend for both of us.
I still remember our late dark room days.
I miss it..been thinking of buying some chemicals and using the dark room again its still there ! myq has offered the dark room anytime i want to use it.
It was just so funny bumping into you yesterday as I was trying catch a bus instead of the train. I was so out of breath when I saw you and then got excited!
Myq and I have remained closed friends over the years as I mentioned and partnered up in our photography dreams and we would love to share our work and connect with you Sean.
lovely seeing you
till next time
ciao
