Archive Dive I
Last evening I was going through some images from 2003, back when I was using my first digital camera. A 3.2 megapixel wonder, I disliked it quite a bit until I figured out how to manipulate the camera’s automatic settings to give me more manual control. After that it was a rare thing to find [...]
We Are All Hungry
I went hunting morels again on Monday with my friends Lauren and Mike. We revisited the same area as from Saturday, but it had been picked over pretty well. The problem now is that everyone in our area knows the season is upon us and the hills are full of people. Nothing [...]
Spring Crazies
Sunday evening I went for a drive along one of my favorite roads in the Shields Valley. I’ve tried several times in the past to take this same shot, but was never able to get the height needed to reveal the field. Today I decided to climb up on top of my car and was [...]

Saturday was quite a day. Reports came in a few days ago that morels had started showing up in the burn areas from last year’s forest fires in our region.

Another take on advancing shadows, this scene was along the Main Boulder route as I drove to the Natural Bridge. The clean, sharp edge of light gets me every time, and on this occasion it was no different. The shot had a high potential of being ‘blown out’, but a little drop in [...]
Bastion of Spring
Despite the fact that it’s been cold and rainy here in Montana for most of this spring, a few perfect days have shown their face and the landscape is fully alive with color…so color it is. I have to give part of the credit for this image to my buddy, Jay Wesler, and here’s [...]
