Afternoon Pond
Crouching along an alpine pond, I took this image in the Beartooth Mountains over Labor Day weekend. Though I’ve been to the area a number of times in the past, this was my first trip solely to camp and explore about on foot. Home to the highest peak in Montana, the Beartooths offer the full [...]
Country Road - Archive Dive IV
I thought I had posted this previously, but upon digging around through my archives I was unable to locate any trace - but forgive me if it is a dupe! Taken last fall while on a drive back down from Porcupine Cabin in the Crazy Mountains, I was struck by both the subtlety and starkness [...]
Abandoned Grove
The Russian-olive does very well in Montana, and though it’s not a true olive tree it lends wonderfully to the landscape. Thick and thorny, they were planted by settlers in the region to act as windbreaks and natural fences. An abandoned grove along the Yellowstone River made for a great stop…

Though not as famous for architecture as their Anasazi neighbors, they did leave behind a scattered trove of granaries, pit houses and other minor stone structures. Rock art seems to [...]

Time loses meaning, ‘being lost’ is suddenly idyllic and the concept of ‘necessity’ becomes stripped of vanity to expose the pure [...]
post-Earth Day Post
I think this is the longest I’ve gone without posting since I started my blog. I also think it’s the busiest I’ve been with other projects! After starting a web development company recently, things are off to a fantastic start and I’m grateful for both the work and the opportunity to help others with their [...]
Spring Veil
Taken on the first day of spring, I thought this would be an apt title. There are a number of images I made this day that I’ll be posting in the future, but displaying more than one at a time takes away from the minimalist feel of each. I could have spent a day lost [...]
