Sounds like a cool job! If you are ever in need of any pictures please let me know. I'm a photographer and would love to find new places to publish. Likewise if you ever want to be featured on our blog let me know - maybe we can do a guest spot! Our website is http://www.BeersandBeans.com and my photo site is http://www.NarikosNest.com. We just got back from Oaxaca where we covered the Day of the Dead and we've got a lot of great stuff that we'll be featuring soon. Good luck in Whitehorse! - Beth
