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 [...]
The Bend
Last year saw some of Montana and Idaho’s worst wildfires in many years. The smoke plumes were so large they were easily photographed from space by both NASA satellites and an astronaut aboard the International Space Station…using only a hand-held camera with a 200mm lens. It made for some difficult photography down here [...]

Madison Bench
Here’s a recent photo from Montana’s Madison Valley. It was a particularly beautiful day, a bit patchy, but quite pleasant. By the time I reached Jackson Hole a large storm had settled in and conditions turned sour. I always appreciate the day of beauty right before the chaos…seems to work like that.
Getting Close
I’m coming to the end of my Utah images. I think this weekend will see my last desert post until I go back for another visit, hopefully in the next few months. I was supposed to be there right now, actually, but things fell through at the last moment. I suppose the [...]
