Cool! Thanks! It's now "Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson." I don't know if it's officially part of Anchorage, but the area is all sorta one anyhow.

Yes, it is something nicely presented, and I hope you get more of these special opportunities, Kirk!

Thanks again all.

Quite a bio, Kirk! Well done. Now that you are all warmed up, what is your next big project?

**Kirk Gittings** · 12-Feb-2016, 09:27

Thanks Chaucey, I am mainly concentrating on a long term project which the Petrified Forest images are a part of. It is part history, part autobiography about Rt. 66 called Lost Horizon.
