Fitness Portraits
This past spring I was hired to take portraits of 3 fitness competitors in my hometown of Missoula, MT. I don’t do a lot of studio-style portraits but it’s always fun to mix it up and I took advantage of the opportunity to shoot some more dramatic lighting setups at Unparalleled Movement, the parkour gym in town, …
Overwhelming Response to “Exuma.”
Hello friends and fans of the Bahamas! “Exuma” made its premiere a couple of months ago at the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival. Since then I’ve been fulfilling orders for DVD’s and Blu-ray’s through the website and getting ready to start working on other distribution, including retail sales in the Bahamas. I just wanted to take …
Random News
Just some random news. A High Country News cover story that I shot photos for, “The Color of Bunny,” just won a National Association of Science Writers award.

River Honoring
Driving over the swollen Clark Fork river today made me think about some video and stills of the Salish/Kootenai river honoring ceremony on the Flathead River that I shot for the National Wildlife Federation last summer.

I pass these pigeons every day on my couple block commute to coffee. I decided to take some pictures of them one day about 8 months ago and just finally had time to look at them yesterday. Better late than never. Click on them for the larger size photos.

Play
Walking along another coastline in the Caribbean. Toña is the beer here and I’m drinking one. Sun is about to set. Up ahead I catch sight of a young boy splashing around in the water down behind some rocks. It’s hot and he didn’t bother removing any clothes before he jumped in to cool off. …
Snow!
It’s full-on summer in Montana. The months and months of pleas for warm, sunny weather have been replaced with pleas for popsicles and cold rivers and cooler weather. I mean, at least by the ungrateful among us… As computers and hard drives and monitors help drive up the temperature in my little studio, I thought …
Grey Jays
Last spring I found myself huddled in the shade at the edge of some trees with Casey Anderson, Missy Pyle and Rick Smith watching a mother grizzly and three cubs. They played and dug for grubs and voles in the sunny, sprawling meadow in front of us while Rick and I filmed from the comfort …
