It was almost 40º when I took the scenic route home today. Lots of slush and mud, a few birds, and a great opportunity for black and white photography.
Snow, Birds, and Sunsets
Trying to get in the habit of going for a drive in the evenings to see what I can see. Sometimes the sunsets fizzle, but it's always great to just get out of the house.
Snow shoot with Lily
Best part about being roomies is the spontaneous photo shoots. Couldn't let a good snow day slip away.
2023 Year in Review
2023 hasn’t been a year for writing. Or for a lot of intentional photography. My priorities focused heavily on people and experiences, and I’m happy about that. I shot significantly more in 2023, but they were largely snapshots. 5,460 iPhone photos vs. 2,576 A7R3 photos. I subscribe to the notion that the best camera is... Continue Reading →
Catching Up
I have some catching up to do. This was the first summer in awhile that ended without me wishing I had done more. It was full of friends and family and adventures. Fall brought more of the same, and a new roomie. I keep telling myself I’m going to do more short posts instead of... Continue Reading →
Adventure Friends
I have a pretty small and diverse selection of great friends. It's true what they say--as you get older, you start to value quality over quantity. Lily has become one of the best. We've discovered that we adventure similarly. We're perfectly fine with stopping every ten minutes to take photos of flowers, or a stunning... Continue Reading →
SE Oregon Desert Road Trip
I first saw pictures of the Alvord Desert 10 years ago, and knew it was a place I needed to visit. I never had the opportunity when I lived in Oregon, but after moving back to Montana I started planning the trip. It was originally supposed to just be just a trip to Alvord, but... Continue Reading →
Year in Photos 2022
It’s that time of year again. 2022 was an odd year in photography for me. I was less than inspired most of the time. My 52 project fell short, and I can’t blame Covid this time. I’m really not looking to blame anything—2022 was what it was. It was great in so many ways, and... Continue Reading →
Impromptu shoot with Lily
We were just sitting in the office and decided the light was good enough for a shoot. I miss shoots like this. No planning or preparation--just grab the camera and try to avoid traffic. I'm hoping we can do more this winter.
Corn Ribs
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 →
