Photography, technology, marketing, and life
Remember My buddy Steve from the courthouse aerial footage? He’s back again for the Signature MT Winter 2018 edition. Signature Montana is a quarterly magazine for Montanans, by Montanans. Landing a cover is awesome, but check out the article inside…
Had the opportunity to fly the courthouse today. Beautiful blue skies and a shiny copper dome. New photos on the courthouse project page. Shot a few seconds of video while I was up there, too. Playing around with the Point…
I love data. And photographic data is the best kind. The Lightroom Dashboard gives photographers an awesome look into their Lightroom catalogs. So every year, I take a look at what I did the year before.
Another trip to Portland means another shoot with my favorite models. Ashlee couldn't make it this time, so Kanchan, Kayla, and I headed out in search of snow. We found a little up at Stub.
I took the scenic route back from lunch today. The road ran south of the Missouri between Great Falls and Ulm, and was well worth the extra time getting home.
I had the opportunity to take the Mavic up to capture some of the roof restoration project at the Cascade County Courthouse.
I haven't reviewed anything lately, but UPS delivered something today that is worth mentioning. I've had a Nomad watch stand almost since I bought my Series 0 Apple Watch. It's a great stand. It looks classy, and it's well built. But when I saw this Elago stand on Amazon the other day, I had to have it.
I'm not what you'd call a *family* photographer. But every now and then, friends ask me to take their family portraits. And who can say no to friends? I admit I had a great time shooting this group. It was cold, and the light was flat, but we perservered.
On my last trip to Portland, I managed to squeeze in a shoot with my three favorite models.
I didn't bring any lights with me, so I picked up a couple Lume Cubes and we experimented. One of the girls had a colored inflatable light we played with, as well. I love experimenting with light.
Twenty-one years ago, I moved to Portland from Montana. I couldn't wait to get out and experience *more*. I knew there was more to life than Montana. A few years ago, I started thinking about moving back. Last summer, I decided to make it happen.
It's not that I don't still love Portland. I'm just not as in love with it as I was back then. The population doubled, but the infrastructure didn't, the political climate felt hypocrytical and strange, and the solid gray skies were starting to get to me.
So I loaded up the UHaul and drove to Montana.
