Happy New Year!

Welcome to my new blog.  I live in a small bush community in Southeast Alaska.  Before the ferry started stopping here last winter the only way to get here was by a small bush plane.  Like many communities in Alaska there are no roads in or out.  Life moves a little slower around here and there is beauty everywhere, even when overcast or raining sideways there is always beautiful things to find and see in this ever green temperate rainforest.

This winter I am starting a small photography business called Alpine Prairie Photography.  I have been working on setting it up for a couple of months now.  I am starting off just selling online, but hope to eventually be selling to stores and galleries here in Southeast Alaska.  I have a flickr site to showcase my work (www.flickr.com/photos/alpineprairie) and a shop on etsy to sell my work (www.esty.com/shop/AlpinePrairiePhoto).  Please check out those two sites.  If you see something on flickr you like that is not on etsy send me an email and I can create a custom order for you.

I decided 2012 would be the Year of Pictures.  Since I have started a photography business I decided my project for the year would be to take at the very least one photo everyday to help improve my photography skills and in the process continually provide new photos for my portfolio.  I created this blog so I could share my progress in this project.  So I hope you following on my quest to take at least one picture everyday and every week I will post the best photos of the week here on my blog.
