I took this portrait of my friend, Codi, at Lee Metcalf Wildlife Refuge in the Bitterroot Valley. We were out for the day, hiking and exploring. Often times in the spring the refuge is filled with new birds and it’s fresh and green. These cat tails were obviously left from the fall and became like puff [...]

I took this photo in Missoula. I was riding my bike and noticed the long shadows from the trees and signs and also this child with his mother riding a trike. I took this image before the digital boom! I was using black and white infra red film with a red filter. I knew the image would [...]

Struggling, yet Strong in Jamaica This photo was taken in Negril, Jamaica.  These kids are all brothers. Their parents were living on the beach selling to tourists. I happened upon them randomly. Their independence seemed to capture the reality of many youth in Jamaica: they’re very poor and often unsupervised because their parents are struggling [...]

I took this photo of these six stallions in the Sapphire Mountains (Montana). After breeding season, they “bachelor up.” I’ve been watching them for about 10 years. Originally I came across them while hunting. There are several herds in the Sapphires. On this day I was looking for them to take photos. They’re huge and powerful. [...]

This image of a group of male bighorn sheep captures their practice of departing from the females once the mating season has concluded. Bighorn sheep do not follow a “leader,” as many other animal species do, but instead travel in herds, as seen here.  These Rocky Mountain bighorns are a distinct subspecies inhabiting the cooler [...]

This image was taken during the Bonner fire in fall of 2011, in East Missoula. Wildfire in the west, and particularly in Montana, is a permanent landscape characteristic, and it is clearly not one to be reckoned with.  Every year, Montanans struggle to deal appropriately with this natural phenomenon – sometimes making every effort to [...]

The Rattlesnake Wilderness is a Special Place I spend a great deal of time wandering around the Rattlesnake Wilderness just northeast of Missoula, Montana.  Many of my favorite images have been taken there. During every season, people flock to this natural playground for trail running, hiking, horseback riding, backpacking, skiing, fishing, and hunting. Breathtaking sites [...]

Welcome to my new site! I’m very excited to share my new photography website with my friends and the public.  The site was carefully planned, with an emphasis on communication and easy access. To that end, I incorporated a new blog and various social media links, including Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube, all of which I [...]

As a Missoula, Montana based landscape and wildlife photographer, I am constantly amazed at the rapid pace of seasonal changes.  Montana enjoys four distinct seasons — each with its own range of color and texture, and each with its own special “events.”  Summer in the west boasts gorgeous floral blossoms, raging rivers, and massive wildfires.
