I was finally able to update my Featured RSS for this month in the sidebar. I’m highlighting Andrew Gibson’s blog – Magical Places Fine Art. Full of intriguing interviews and top notch images, I highly recommend stopping by the site for a visit and subscribe to his RSS feed.
For today’s photo, and in light of my recent post about the “nameless” reservoir, I thought I’d try again. Located on private property and just larger than a football field, I’m betting on this one.
Went for a nice drive today, visiting Canyon Ferry Lake for the first time. Arrived a little too late to take any decent photos on the water, but all was not lost. The trek over included about 50 miles of backwoods gravel roads and some of really amazing scenes. Today’s image came on the approach to the lake from the mountains above…I could spend a year photographing nothing but God Rays and be content.
Another from around 2002 or 2003, this image was taken among the crags at the Natural Bridge. On one side of the sinkhole the falls have created over the millennia, the cliff face is shearing off in massive chucks with room enough between them to walk. It was while walking through one of these slots that I looked up and saw this scene.
There’s a reservoir just north of Wilsall, MT, which appears to have remained nameless over the years. I’ve referenced a few different maps and mapping sites, but to no avail. With a number of ranches and homes along its shore, I’m curious what names the locals have come up with.
Monday was a day to push it all aside and enjoy myself. I drove to the Gravelly Mountains with a friend, exploring a new section of the maze of gravel roads that crisscross this beautiful landmark along the way. Unlike most of the mountains around here, which are quite rugged, the Gravellys are known for their vast, high altitude meadows filled with wildflowers and silence. Today’s image was taken near the end of this nearly 85-mile dirt road trek and reflects the wonders I experience every time I visit this amazing place. Can’t wait to go back, but this time with better bug spray!!
One thing I miss about working with traditional film is having a negative. Whether processing a roll, printing from it or just holding it up to a light for review, there’s something irreplaceable about the tactile nature of these actions. A digital tribute to an analog dream…
I’m always apologizing for missing posts, but maybe the best thing to do at this point is just to state that for the next several weeks my blog will only be updated sporadically. I wish it were otherwise, but my workload is dictating that non-essentials be limited as much as possible. Thanks for your patience and understanding…
