Photography by Andy King

Andy King spends most of the summer on Black Duck Island in the Admiralty Islands.  We say "most" because Andy also travels to National Parks in Canada and the United States, and everywhere he goes he carries his camera, tripod and hiking boots!

In December Andy sent TI Life a series of photographs to illustrate an article written by his mother, Jean King's Black Duck Cottage Family History, and we are pleased to share the photographs with you.  All of the shots shown below, except the sunset shot, were taken with a Pentax 6x7 camera using Velvia slide film¹.
