What is awhile? Oh, I don&#8217;t know, haven&#8217;t figured that part out yet. At least a year, I&#8217;d say, since we&#8217;ve rented our house out with a one year lease, but it could be longer, depending on how things go up there with employment and with the cold dark winters.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I&#8217;m not too worried about the winter, there is incredible skiing in Alaska, as well as ice climbing, and of course, the northern lights. Plus, I&#8217;m taking a few guitars and my recording setup, so I&#8217;ll have plenty to do if I happen to find myself cooped up inside for any length of time. I&#8217;m actually looking forward to finally getting a chance to play some music after a very busy summer that saw almost no guitar playing. (Be careful what you ask for&#8230;!)<\/p>\n<p>As for the employment part, what better place for an outdoor adventure photographer to live than in Alaska? I&#8217;ve notified all of my clients that I&#8217;m moving and hopefully some of them will call when they need Alaska pictures. I already have one very good client in Anchorage, and when get up there, I&#8217;ll work hard to get my name out there to the rest of the community. And, with all the new, and literally endless adventure photo opportunities, I should be able to produce vast amounts of stock imagery that I can market to my agencies and sell directly to my clients, should they happen to call. If the phone does ring while I&#8217;m up there, I certainly wouldn&#8217;t want to abandon ship if things are going well.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, I love my house and life in Colorado, as well as the 300 sunny days a year that we have here, and I plan to come back someday. So, after taking those things into consideration, the answer to how long I&#8217;ll stay, is &#8220;I don&#8217;t know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Funny, I seem to say that alot about my life. Therein lies the adventure&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Now, if you&#8217;ll excuse me, I have some packing to do. We leave in two weeks.<\/p>\n<p><img src='http:\/\/danbaileyphoto.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/08\/ak-lnd-102.jpg' alt='Alaska mountain' \/><br \/>\n(Clouds over The Gargoyle, Ruth Gorge, Alaska)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep hearing all about &#8216;change&#8217; this year and how good it&#8217;s supposed to be, so after a minimal amount of introspection and consideration, I&#8217;ve decided to move Dan Bailey Photography to Alaska for awhile.
