My buddy Steve came back to Central Montana for a visit last week, so we decided to have a beer and shoot some photos. He brought his Inspire 2 with him, and I charged up a battery for my Mavic, and we headed west of Ulm to try to find a tree I remember shooting … Continue reading Friends and Photography

These are the newest members of the collection. One of these days I’m going to need to get all the old film cameras together for a photo. I don’t remember when I started collecting old cameras, but I’m glad I did. Every now and then I run across something worth buying. Some of them (like … Continue reading Rolleiflex and Kowa Six MM

I’m pretty sure I’ve ranted about my love/hate relationship with Flickr over the years, so I won’t rehash it now.

She's great to work with, and patient enough to deal with the fact that I'm a little rusty with the portrait shoots. Gotta … Continue reading Marissa

I’ve heard good things, but I just can’t get past the whole tongue thing. Washed it all down with … Continue reading Taco Tuesday at Elevation 3330
I spent last weekend planting flowers in the front yard. It's oddly satisfying, even when I'm not successful at keeping the perennials alive from year to year. Let's see how long I can keep this rose bush alive...
This should probably be on the 406 Photos site, but I’m focused on this one for now, so it is what it is. I met some friends at the temporary Kellergeist location this afternoon. They’re slinging drinks from the old Bert & Ernies location until the renovations are done at the real Kellergeist. The Biergarten … Continue reading Kellergeist
One of the reasons I don’t post more is because when I sit down to write something, I feel like it has to be some long complicated thing. I feel like I need to write a draft, revise, rewrite, collect images, blah, blah, blah. Don’t get me wrong—those are all things that usually lead to … Continue reading Roadblocks
