(Last of the procrastinators? I know!) I lived in Alaska for 15 months, about 10 years ago, and still love the region, so I feel like I have "a foot in this camp." Also, being a photographer myself, I've been drooling over your images for -- oh, a long time.<BR/><BR/>In this last post, you mention that you don't have Photoshop, and are falling back on freeware: so do I. And I've discovered a free one that's also the best one ... gives you infinite choices. It's like a pro package, but a no-cost download. <BR/><BR/>Have you heard of Irfanview ...? Just go to www.irfanview.com and, uh, download. I've been using it for years; they're up to version 4-point-something, and I can't recommend it highly enough.<BR/><BR/>Like I said ... love this blog. Takes me back across the years to the fifteen months I lived in Fairbanks. One day, I'd love to get back to Alaska. Till then -- thank gods for the Internet!<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Mel KeeganMel Keeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00706600463690100424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18615538.post-56894581213401340012009-02-07T21:07:00.000-07:002009-02-07T21:07:00.000-07:00We just received your book (Ghost Trails) today......We just received your book (Ghost Trails) today...can't wait to read it.
