Here and There

Above:  Packing up my life to transport it 4000 miles away

Welcome to my corner of the world.  I currently live in Anchorage, Alaska, but for eighteen years I lived in Las Vegas, Nevada.  Vegas is an ever changing city and Anchorage seems more steady, but they have things in common as well.  I both miss Las Vegas and love Anchorage.  So I will be sharing with you my memories, my adventures, my happiness and my sadness.

I have a family of 4.  An 8 year old daughter a 12 year old son and an incredibly supportive and loyal husband (who often drives me nuts anyway).  We moved here to secure the financial state of our lives, and I'm happy here because of the weather changes, the community feeling and the art, among many other reasons.

Above: I have no idea if that is the United States or Canada below me as I fly on to my new life. But the flight is very excititing, as I have no idea what awaits me in The Last Frontier.

At first it may take a few posts to establish some continuity, but with patience and hard work I plan to turn this blog into an amazing, carefree and fun site to learn about places, people and their passions. We'll have guest contributers from time to time.  Photography and PSP contests will run on a regular basis.  Slowly but surely we are building up partnerships with different sites and companies in both Nevada and Alaska.  I am very excited for all of you to join me on this trip.

Our true launch date will be January 7th 2012. On that day we will feature some local photography from both states.  Then one week later we will announe the winner of the sigge competition being run on http://pimpinpspers.forumotion.com/  .

If you would like to enter your photography for a chance to be posted on launch, feel free to email me.
