February 19th-

 I arrived in Vegas 4 what is now known as the weekend of a thousand laughs.  The entire staff @ The LVBP!
came down 2 meet me & the manager, Ben C. Danielsen of Norway, smiled & said unto me:

"Welcome 2 Vegas!" That night, Ben purchased 142 untaken photographs from me 2 build a permanent photo gallery on hostel life, which opened on November 23rd.  It was then christianed: "The Viva, Lost Wages Project".

Originally set up as an online portfolio 4 my photography, The PHOTOhype.com web site is slowly becoming
a cyber community 4 my friends & online PHOTOfriends alike.  The year 2000 was a great year 4 The Hype & with
our new direction, there will be plenty more...  More writers.  More photographers.  More PHOTOfun 2 come.
More PHOTOtrips, PHOTOshows, PHOTOfights & PHOTOfriends alike.  More of everything & much, much
more of what you expect from a web site that doesn't try sell you anything, except a few photographs
& the lifestyle of The Hype... The so-called PHOTOhype. -GEOhype, Alaska
