"I live in a small cabin in the woods with a team of Alaskan Huskies. My cabin is what they call a 'Dry' cabin, which means no running water, all water needs to be carried in either by ATV in the summer or dog team and snow machine in the winter as there is no road to it.

Hipstamatic came into my life in 2011, it was love at first click and of course one of the first photos was of my lead dog Snakeriver. Because the iPhone is so portable it was easy to take along when I hopped on the back of the sled to take the team out for a run and I could easily share my day as it unfolded with my Hipsta friends around the world. Hipstamatic Classic is my go to camera app, I love trying different combos and seeing if the end result was what I had hoped for but because my winters are bitter cold and hanging onto a sled pulled by a bunch of energetic dogs with one hand, I tend to put it on random shake and hope for the best.
Hipstamatic... social interaction for remote Alaska living."
