"Endless Days and Skies"


I got some great shots last weekend while out and about.  The sun came out and there were some great clouds in the sky when I woke up, so I grabbed the camera and went to see what I could find.  If you live in Montana year-round, you know how to appreciate the warm weather and vibrant colors of the summer because it doesn't last long.  Being someone who doesn't exactly love winter,  I really feel the cabin fever wearing off when I can get out in a green field and soak up the Vitamin D I've been lacking all winter.  This landscape is my idea of what heaven probably looks like - open, sunny, and warm.  I hear the cap popping off a bottle of beer...

We've got a new website!

I have been a devoted Etsy user since 2007, but I feel the need for an official website to showcase our products.  With the addition of greeting cards, wood blocks, and photos on canvas to our line, it seemed like a good time to create a website to have a beautiful on-line shop.  Big Cartel provides great pre-made templates that are fully customizable.  We are in the process of getting our domain name changed, but for now here is the site:    http://montanaphotojournal.bigcartel.com

"Harvest Shadow"


It seems that the chances of finding a good shot improve once my tires leave the pavement.  This day was extremely warm, at the end of August, just as everyone is starting to harvest their wheat.  While the tourists pack into Glacier Park and Yellowstone, both just a few hours from where I live, I have always loved finding myself alone in one of these wide open fields, as a storm rolls in and the wind picks up, swaying the wheat around me.  The air is magical and energized by storms.  The colors are incredible in the summer and I love to find the combinations that I haven't seen before.
