Last summer I spent time driving around Montana searching for the best places to pick your own fruit. My search took me from the shores of Flathead Lake to fields of strawberries outside of Missoula. I learned that organic orchards often use sheep to clean up fallen fruit and that picking strawberries in the early […]
hello At the end of last summer I spent a couple days in Bigfork, Montana photographing the Crown of the Continent Guitar Festival and Workshop. This last year has brought a consistent challenge of both writing and photographing stories simultaneously. It’s been a difficult thing to try and do both well. Lift your camera and […]
At the end of last year I spent some time writing and photographing a story about the Missoula Symphony Orchestra’s 60th anniversary for Montana Magazine. How could you not enjoy an assignment that sends you to music rehearsal and backstage during a performance? It’s definitely been a challenge writing and photographing stories simultaneously this past year. […]
Standing in a field so full of bees that my body was vibrating with the hum of their buzzing was a first. So was finding out that raising bees outside Glacier National Park means that sometimes bears eat your bee hives. Working on this story and photographing the folks at Glacier County Honey Company […]
There are some assignments that, once finished, leave you feeling better than when you started. This assignment was one of those experiences for me. When I got the call from Poets and Writers Magazine that I would be photographing bestselling, mystery author James Lee Burke I was more than a little nervous. He’s a well […]
Missoula is a great town and has so many great places to discover. I was thrilled when Country Living asked me to contribute to their online project chronicling special spots in all 50 states. I of course had to recommend one of my favorites, Butterfly Herbs. If you want loose tea, a gift for a […]
Spring is here … or at least on it’s way. Some mornings here in Montana we are still waking up to snow on the ground. I can’t say I’m thrilled about that. It’s nice to hear the birds are back — I figure they know better when the temperatures will really head in the right […]

If you weren’t sure, here’s proof that it’s winter. This person won’t be getting into their car for a bit. The past five days have been a snowy mess here in Missoula including several avalanches, icy airport runways, and school closures.

We woke up here in Missoula to softly falling snow. It’s the most we’ve had in a bit and it makes me wonder how much more snow there is up at Seeley Lake. A couple weeks ago we set out on a weekend adventure there with some good friends. The snow on the frozen lake […]
While we were on the road in the Flathead there were mornings where the mercury read -30. Ya’ll. That’s just wrong. Despite the frigid temps we took a quick self timer shot on Whitefish Lake. In all the running around shooting for other folks we are trying to make sure we make some photographs for […]
This past weekend Lido and I headed north to Whitefish and I photographed one of the town’s annual events: The Whitefish Winter Carnival. This year’s theme was Viva Las Vegas — so of course the grand marshall of the parade was Wayne Newton. It was fun to be back in a community we called home […]
The end of the year is always a nice time to step back and look at what you’ve accomplished, what’s changed, and where you are going. 2013 was a year of huge changes from start to finish. Lido and I are now in a new city and both working full time for ourselves. This is […]
The last couple years I’ve been asked to photograph The Event at Rebecca Farm for the group that presents this world-class equestrian competition. It is normally at the height of summer and I feel lucky to spend the day in such a stunning location photographing horses and their riders. It’s beautiful every time. This year […]

This history and ecological commitment show in their treatment of the animals, the land, and their family. In 1995 Will Harris III decided to work returning […]
