Linda Lane

Photographer Linda Lane lives in the San Francisco Bay area having recently relocated from Seattle, Washington. Lane was raised in Alaska, coming from an "old West" family - her great-grandfather, Isaac Newton Lane (Mexican Cherokee), was one of the 26 Pony Express Riders in the 1860's. Both lines of her family come from Alaska beginning in 1896, a year before the Nome Gold Rush. Her career began as a wildlife photographer working for the US Fish and Wildlife Service in Anchorage, Alaska in 1978. She has a holistic world view with a global perspective, which she uses when designing software in-between photography trips, which take her rambling from around her neighborhood to around the world -- Nepal, Mexico, India, etc, and home to Alaska. Linda uses the nickname "Wonderlane" on the Internet.
