http://akpeac.smugmug.com/Travel/ Born and raised in Anchorage, I've been lucky to have been able to share my life in one way or another with birds. I spent my college days at Washington State University where I received my Bachelor of Science. Being passionate about the plight of companion parrots, I started the Anchorage chapter of Parrot Education & Adoption Center ( <a href="http://www.akpeac.org">PEAC</a> ) in June 2002. In 2005 I joined the organization International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and in 2006 I obtained Certified status as a Parrot Behavior Consultant. When not on parrot duty, I work as an IT administrator and paralegal for a local law firm. I owe many thanks to fellow smugmugger John Gomes - for camera/lens advice, photography tips and inspiration, and so much more. Please stop by and check out <a href="http://johngomes.smugmug.com">John's photos</a> (it's definitely worth your time!) Any skill I seem to develop over the years is likely the result of taking classes from Johnathon Green of Starlight Studio in Anchorage. Unfortunately for us, Johnathon recently purchased a photography studio on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Check him out if you're there! Email him <a href="mailto:starlightstudio@hawaii.rr.com">here</a> If you have any questions or comments, feel free to <a href="mailto:akpeac@gmail.com">Email me</a> http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Wed, 19 Dec 2007 17:03:59 -0800 Sat, 26 Dec 2009 13:20:26 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
