Back on the sidelines

Montana Tech vs UM Western men's basketball in Butte.

This weekend The Montana Standard hired me to shoot some assignments. It was so much fun!! I shot Butte High girls basketball Friday night, a news/feature assignment Saturday afternoon and the above shot I made at the Tech vs Western game Saturday night. It was good to be back shooting sports and working with some former co-workers.

Big sister

I wanted to share an image from my portrait shoot yesterday with Amya and Judah. They were fun to photograph and I can't wait to edit the rest of their photographs.

From the archives

Thanksgiving Day in Oceanside, California.

One of my favorites taken back in 2004.

Black and white hallway

Adeline explores her grandparent's hallway on a recent trip to Missoula.

One of the things I love about taking photographs for myself is I get the final say over how my images look. For example, black and white vs. color. It was always so frustrating as a newspaper photographer when the editor would put a photo on a jump page in black and white when the photo screamed for color. Or vice versa when I shot something amazing in black and white but it was forced to be in color on a front page.

The beginning

Yellowstone National Park, self portrait 2004

So I decided this evening...on a whim...to start another blog. This blog will be about my photography. As ideas flow and photos get posted I'm sure this blog will shape into something new and creative.
I'm sure I will re-visit my archives and post a pic or two of Adeline, maybe even some from my friends and family who also love to take photographs will share and contribute their work.
