Where I’ve Been

Landscape, Montana


Pardon me while I digress a little with this blog. I have been posting images lately that were shot close to home and in the past few days. For the next few posts, I want to revisit where I have been, both places I went and jobs I’ve shot. I think it is important to look back occasionally to understand how I got to where I am, and to perhaps give me some idea and direction to where I’m going, (professionally that is).

These images of seaplanes are from a campaign I shot in Montana and Idaho for an outdoor apparel company.

Apple Butter at Goat Lady Dairy

Farm


My son Tristan and I were invited over to Goat Lady Dairy by our neighbors Steve and Lee Tate on Sunday for their annual CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) picnic. Steve and Lee set up and made a pot of apple butter, an old family tradition of theirs, assisted by the members of the CSA. We took our cider mill with us and made a few gallons of apple cider for the picnic. It was an enjoyable afternoon; food, music, great company and a little work.

Sawing Poplar

Sawmill, Work


Neighbor Gary McMasters and his crew saw lumber on his vintage circular sawmill earlier this week. Gary custom saws for folks in and around Grays Chapel, North Carolina. Monday, they were sawing poplar for a local farmer for use as a floor in his barn loft. Scenes like this take me back to my childhood, when my Grandfather and my uncle ran a sawmill business with a mill very much like the one Gary uses.
