Looking for an iPad Mini case? The Mini is a great companion for photoshoots.

Moft’s Dynamic Folio iPad Mini case turned out to be the last missing piece in my iPad Mini setup.

TUESDAY TIPS: Av Setting

So you got a brand spankin' new DSLR or high-end P&S camera for the holidays, and you're wondering what all the letters on the dial are for. Tv, Av, M… It's all greek to you. The next few Tuesday Tips are going to (hopefully) get you started. First of all, if you have a DSLR, and shoot with the dial on auto (often designated by a little green box,) stop....

Winter Things

Playing a little catch up with the winter weather we’ve been having. Finally got to go skiing--might be the only time this year, so we made the most of it. As I'm writing this, it's 50ºF outside, so that might be the end of winter. This is Montana, though, so we could get an epic snow storm in May.

This year’s step critters

When I first moved into this house, I noticed a bull snake living underneath my front steps. He was pretty cool--kept mainly to himself and decimated the rodent population. After a few years, he disappeared. This year, it's rabbits. There were three--mama and two babies--but we seem to be down to just one baby now. Neighbor cats, raptors, coyotes, and one fox that may or may not still be around are keenly aware that they exist....

Chasing the Northern Lights in Montana

I had heard about the Northern Lights. I had seen pictures from various sources. But I never realized I'd be able to see them myself. When I moved back to Montana, my buddy Steve pointed out that we can actually see them from Montana. He'd always give me a heads up when there was a chance of the lights popping off....

Back in August, Sabrina and I headed down to the river for a paddle board shoot. It’s a spot I’ve driven past many times, but this is the first time I’ve stopped. I’ve been craving a water shoot for a while now, and even though the river wasn’t deep enough to get every shot I wanted, we ended up with some great shots....

Finally had a chance to shoot with Lily again.

It’s been awhile. I haven’t even recapped the 2022 52 Project. Mostly because I didn’t finish it, but also because other things have taken precedence. I’ll see what I can do…

Finally got a chance to do a test shoot with Lily. Perfect weather for it, too. Looking forward to creating more with her this summer!

It seems fitting to finish the project on the 31st. I actually ended up with 53 this year. Looking forward to starting over again in 2022!
