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. Time loses meaning, ‘being lost’ is suddenly idyllic and the concept of ‘necessity’ becomes stripped of vanity to expose the pure [...]

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.

3D MT Style

9th Street Bridge
How about a little journalism? Today there was some excitement in little ol’ Livingston, MT. As the Yellowstone River courses past the town’s southern border it forks several times and creates a number of islands. The largest of these, 9th Street Island, has both homes and businesses on it, including Oasis Environmental where my friend [...]
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 [...]
