The Play of Bales
Today’s image comes from a recent drive to northern Montana, near the small town of Fairfield. Only miles from the day’s final destination, I drove past the scene and almost didn’t stop…but ultimately turned around to capture what I had visualized in my mind. What might not be apparent from the photo is that the [...]
Gamma Check II
My thanks to everyone who participated in the poll or left a comment, the results have found me thinking on the matter for several weeks - as my absence has likely conveyed. Many drafts of this post were started during that time, one of which reached nearly 1,200 words in length and was somehow both [...]

Distant Range
Well, I’m finally back in action… As my previous post relates, I experienced a hard drive failure but was able to recover about 90-95% of my data through a variety of methods. The issue in my case was hardware failure, not OS corruption like I’ve been through so many times before. When the reader-arm in [...]
On Hold
Just a quick note to let you know that I’ve experienced quite an epic hard drive failure and am trying to get things back up and running. Luckily, my images were archived and I experience no loss on that front, but much of my other work was not so lucky. I’ll be back to posting [...]
