Christian Racich is some guy who lives in Juneau, Alaska and tries to earn a living making photographs. He would be very happy if you hired him to shoot at some exotic location where it is sunnier than Juneau, but since this probably won't happen, he will tell you that he's been making pictures for quite some time now and thinks it is really fun. If you would like him to keep having fun then you should call his company Illuminati Images, at 907-586-4215, and give him a job and some of your money.

thanks, 

-Christian

Brad Hartman has lived in Alaska 17 years, been snowboarding 13 years. He’s been interested in photography since high school. Taken pictures for Reality Snowboards and Soup Kitchen and Poseidon Board Sports. Lives out on North Douglas because it’s close to the ski area, so he can ride as much as possible. His job at Glacier Gardens (greenhouse manager) offers flexible winter hours so he doesn’t have to miss any powder days. Brad wants to keep taking photos of snowboarding because it lets him do the two things he loves the best. His email address:
