Actually, that's the OTHER part of the state...I live in the NW corner of Montana. The Flathead Valley to be precise. We are the part everyone wants to live in
It seems I’ve always had a camera at hand, even at a young age. The first camera I remember using was a Kodak Brownie 127 handed down from my parents. From that point I had a succession of film cameras until I began digital photography in autumn of 2000, when my oldest son married. I found a whole new world; one that complimented my interest in computers and digital imaging.
I've always had a need to express myself creatively and I’ve had several other hobbies but I've chosen photography as the way to show others what I see in the world. Living in the northwest corner of Montana, has afforded me a privilege that few ever receive…photographic opportunities are around every corner and the scenery and wildlife is abundant. Some of my favorite haunts are Glacier National Park (the inside North Fork Road...not many know about this road) the National Bison Range, and an awesome mountain bluebird trail not far from here. When it is cloudy and rainy / snowy, I shoot inside...flowers and still life become my pursuit. And occasionally I shoot anyone who will model for me.
You will notice I have a wide range of photographed subjects because… I like to shoot it all: Wildlife, Landscape, Macro, Nature, Fashion / Glamour, Weddings and Still Life.
I've lurked on this site for several weeks, brought here by a post by Nill Toulme (Fred Miranda I think). As I look around I see a lot of familiar 'faces' from other forums. I've lurked on most of them as is my habit...tending toward the social background. I like watching and learning. I like what I see thus far, I think I'll hang around for a while.
A side note: if anyone plans on visiting this great state and I can help with information or my personal knowledge please feel free to get in touch. It really IS a great place to shoot!
