Air to air aerial photo on the New York Times website.

The New York Times today published an article titled ‘Alaskan Road Trip, 500 feet up‘. The times hired Scott to photograph a flightseeing and beach landing adventure with Homer Air to illustrate the article. The assignment was a great success with excellent weather and professional pilots making some very dramatic Air to air shots possible. Along with the article the online version features a slideshow with eleven other images from the shoot.

The New York Times published a slideshow with eleven of Scott's mostly aerial photographs.

Scott Dickerson’s unique Alaskan winter surfing photography has made its way into the latest Patagonia Heart of Winter 2009 mail order catalog. The double page spread photo on pages 14-15 in the catalog has a caption that reads: Alaskan surf only gets good in the winter when Father Cold and Uncle Darkness reign. Fortunately that’s also cabin-fever season, which is why Gart Curtis is running down a snow-covered beach in the near-darkness of a midwinter day for a chance at a few cold, stormy waes.

The Surfer’s Journal chose one of Scott’s winter surfing Alaska photos to illustrate an article in their Oct-Nov 2008 issue titled “Baby, It’s Cold – Surfing in the age of neoprene.”  The article looks at the evolution of wetsuits and their role in the spread of surfing into ever colder climates.

Scott Dickerson was assigned by the New York Times newspaper to photograph a midnight sun glacier hike in Girdwood, Alaska with Ascending Path. The thick gray overcast and drizzling rain conditions were far from ideal, but Scott did his best and the article ran with two images from the evening hike. The article was written by Bonnie Tsui.
