Puppies! Lily came up to visit last weekend and brought her two puppies. Sally and Sam are a blast, and Diego loved playing with them for about a day. Then he realized he's no longer a puppy. His legs are just getting old, so he grumped around for the rest of their visit. He did... Continue Reading →
Sloppy roads, fog, and snow
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.
Spring Showers in Montana
It’s not unusual to get snow in April, but I’m over it. Looking forward to spring rain and slightly warmer temperatures. I’ve got a whole list of things to get done around the house this summer, and I’m itching to get started.
52 Portraits : 1/52
Off to a slow start on this 52 Portraits project, but a weekend of ice fishing provided a great opportunity. I couldn't feel my fingers, the shot isn't well focused, and I didn't have my A7R III handy, but it pretty accurately depicts the cold we endured packing up camp on Sunday morning. https://danielhedrick.smugmug.com/52portraits/52-Portraits-2020/i-JSdtd4h/A Every...

Blackfoot Pathways: Sculpture in the Wild
When I was a kid, my sister and I would take the Greyhound bus between Missoula and Great Falls. We started out sitting in the front seat so the bus driver could keep an eye on us, but as we got older, we moved further and further back in the bus. On one trip, there... Continue Reading →
Winter
For the past 20 years, I've been suffering through Portland "winters". Basically 6-9 months of solid gray skies and rain. When we did get a day or two of snow in the metro area, the whole city would shut down. Now that I'm back in Montana, I love every single damn snowflake. I woke up... Continue Reading →
Kanchan and Kayla
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.
Sunday Morning in the Coast Range
I got my first .22 rifle when I was 10 or 11, and I've loved target shooting ever since. Last weekend, a couple friends and I ran out to the mountains to sight in a few new rifles.
