Eagle River Photographer Leanne Quirk will be capturing both the Ceremonial Start of the 2009 Iditarod Sled Dog Race on Saturday, March 7th and the Restart on Willow Lake on Sunday, March 8th. Leanne attempts to photograph every Musher and Iditarider, but you can contact her if you have special requests and she'll do her best to fill them.

Leanne's 5x7" photos ($3.95) will be available for purchase at the Once in a Blue Moose gift shop in the Millennium Hotel, which is Race Headquarters. Enlargements are available on request at an additional charge. Leanne's planned schedule for this year:
• Ceremonial Start photos should be available the same evening, Saturday, March 7th
• Restart photos should be available by midday on Monday, March 9th

Leanne says "Email your inquiries and requests to leanne.quirk@yahoo.com if you were unable to find what you needed at the shop or didn't make it to Anchorage this year. I realize everyone has busy schedules during the exciting couple of days surrounding the race start. I do my best to fill all of your requests within the constraints of my processor's business hours. If I am unable to deliver your order before your flight leaves, I will provide complimentary priority mail service to your home address.
Please be sure to provide as much information as you can when requesting a photo. It is helpful to know the musher's name or bib number, whether it is a horizontal or vertical image, full team or closeup, start or restart. I can email you a low resolution image for confirmation if necessary.
Mushers, their families or Iditariders who need photos for newspaper articles back home can contact me at the above email address and give me the email address for the newspaper. I will provide electronic copies of the requested images at no charge for publication."
