Savanah was born and raised in Ketchikan; if you know where Ketchikan is chances are you were there on a cruise ship. Being from such a beautiful place gave her a love for the outdoors and photography, but being from such a small remote island in Southeast Alaska gave her a love for travel. After high school she decided she had had enough cold and decided to head for Santa Barbara, California. Savanah attended Brooks Institute of Photography and graduated in 2005 with a BA in Digital Imaging.

Danita and Savanah met randomly at the Seattle gift show where Danita was promoting the Alaska DVD, which was produced in the office and was marketing to Alaska retailers, of which Savanah was attending to keep her mother company while shopping. Savanah met Danita at the perfect time, was hired and has worked for the agency ever since February of 2006.

Savanah also coaches girl's basketball, so when she is not working in the office she is working in the gym molding young minds to win win win! Also, in the wintertime you will also find Savanah up in the mountains skiing and in the summer you might find her hiking Mt. Si or fishing in the San Juans, but mostly trying to soak up every ray of sunshine that Seattle produces.

Julia works at the front lines, ingesting submissions and doing quality control on your images. Like Savanah, Julia got her Bachelor's degree from Brooks Institute of Photography, in Santa Barbara, California, where she majored in Portraiture. While exploring nature and travelling are passions of hers, she is usually enjoying herself too much to take pictures. Fine art film work is her forte, and she hopes to one day work in an art museum full time.

Working with Danita has given her endless networking opportunities, a rare view of hundreds of foreign lands and cultures, and a heightened hunger for travel. If a person has to sit at a desk all day, what better way to pass the time than looking at beautiful photographs of far away places?

When she is not behind the computer, chances are you can find her hiking in the woods, or still plugging away in the darkroom. This being said, she's a Photoshop nerd with hawk-like vision for sensor dust, so you'd better open those files up to 100% before she gets her hands on them.

Keith is the newest addition to Danita's team. He is responsible for ingesting images into our photo database, which really means that he looks at and massages metadata all day. Keith grew up in South Texas, barefoot and dreadlocked. He has a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in Interdisciplinary Arts, both from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi.

Keith really loves music. In fact, it was his love of music that got him into computers in the first place, motivated by the invention of MIDI back in the early 80s to purchase his first computer: an Apple II+.

Working with Danita has given Keith a new perspective on the stock photo industry, and a new appreciation for content ingesters worldwide.

When he is not ingesting content, Keith can be found teaching computers and software at Bellevue College, tweaking the audio settings on his MacBook Pro, following his beautiful wife Milena around the greater Pacific Northwest, or massaging his iTunes database.

When I first encountered this image, I was struck by its sheer scale: there is a vast amount of space here, and the distance renders mountains on an equal scale as humans.

But there was something that kept bringing me back to this image. There was the woman, all alone atop this cliff. I could feel the wind at this great height, I could hear the spaciousness. And, this is Egypt: cradle of humanity. So, not only is there space here, but time. Humanity has been wandering these cavernous, ominous spaces for millenia, and most probably felt this same feeling of grandiosity and power. For there are eons in these mountains. I keep coming back to this image because it makes me feel connected to something much larger than myself.
