I realize this has nothing to do with photography, but I had to share. To those of you who have heard of these before, you already know what I’m going to say. To the rest of you, try these now. I went to a new bar in town last weekend, and one of the menu... Continue Reading →
Dad
In 2004, I shot this blurry photo of my dad in Missoula, MT. When he saw it, he immediately decided that it was the photo he wanted included in his obituary. I have no idea why he instantly thought of his obituary, but last year we honored his request. It’s been a year now since... Continue Reading →
Friends and Photography
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 →
Taco Tuesday at Elevation 3330
I love tacos. I mean, who doesn’t? One of my favorites in Great Falls comes from Elevation 3330. Their Taco Tuesday is outstanding, and changes every week. The only ones I avoid are the beef tongue.

They’re slinging drinks from the old Bert & Ernies location until the renovations are done at the real Kellergeist. The Biergarten... Continue Reading →
Roadblocks
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 →
2020 Senior Banners
There are very few reasons to get up at 5am. Photography is at the top of the list of reasons. When my buddy Jason of Speaking Socially said he was going to be downtown hanging up the banners to honor this year's high school seniors, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to document the morning....

Almost Summer in the Backyard
After a brutal February and a chilly spring, summer weather is finally starting to show up. I spent about an hour in the back yard with a beer and the big lens trying to capture all the birds. Of course, they were all over the fence before I brought the camera out. But once the... Continue Reading →
