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 [...]
Sights of Escalante, II
From roughly 400-1,350 A.D. the Fremont culture populated regions throughout Utah, growing corn and other crops, hunting game, establishing mysteries for later generations to unravel. 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 [...]
Sights of Escalante, I
Above most things in life, I am captivated by the landscape of Utah. The geology is often beyond description and even a camera tends to fall short of conveying scale as it keenly exists.

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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
