★★★★★ · Awesome cinematography · Jarrah Shub · 2022-10-06

I really felt the story that this filmmaker was trying to tell. I felt his fascination with nature, and awe at natural beauty. I felt his carefully framed shots, beautiful vignettes. And felt his struggles with technology when it interfered with his vision.

Another nice home movie here.. It starts out rather spectacularly with some amazing mountain valley views, but then settles down lol and gives us a potpourri of shots from a nice vacation up up way up in the northern hemisphere. We visit Alaska and NWT, lots of good looking animals, a pretty scary ferry ride lol, some ye old days convention it looks like, and some foilage shots. Some great shots on here.. And some awesome Kodak leaders!
