take pictures everyday

My friend and I went to his studio (Glacier Park) for new photos for his clients. I took a few snapshots with my digital camera just for fun.

This is the view from my dining room.

is a professional photographer. Interestingly he does things the old fashioned way with a dark room and all.

We were talking about his website and he has no idea how to change out his photos or for that matter how to attach a jpg to an e-mail.

It’s funny how I just take for granted we all have the same aptitudes for computers. Especially if we are into graphic imaging.

Maybe if I help him with computers he can teach me more about photography.

My move to Montana has proven to be a photographer’s dream come true. The one snag I have run in to has been that my digital camera eats batteries.

I am thinking of buying stock in Energizer. :)

This story of adoption by a “mother grizzly bear”: http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2007/02/16/outdoors/out59.txt

will be the kind of theme I will have to photograph and write about when I change my lifestyle later this month.

This will be a great adventure!

Emmett, a lonely 2-year-old grizzly in Alaska, looks around after taking a dip. Emmett attached himself to Baylee, a mother bear with three cubs of her own, and eventually became part of the family.

I’m sure there will be lots of ghostly images to capture this weekend. ;)

Amon Carter Museum I stopped to really look at a photography exhibit that I had seen many times before. It was about life in Montana in the early 1900’s.

The photographs were part of an exhibit about Charles Russell a world reknowned western artist that lived in Montana from the late 1800’s until his death in 1926.

It made me realize how important our photography will be one day.

a thousand words ‘they’ are speaking the truth.

This has been a secret passion of mine for a very long time.

It is time to have more fun with it. Who knows someday I may have a showing or win a pulitzer prize.

At the very least my children’s children will have a rich record of life ‘back in the olden days’ (today) when they are grown. ;)

I have been using my Digital camera exclusively for taking pictures. It is a very good camera. The colors are beautiful.

Recently I rediscovered my 35 mm cameras – a Canon and a Vivitar. I haven’t purchased film in so long. It will be fun to work with all three cameras on various projects for my publishing company.

I have some art(coffee table) books in mind to photograph.

This will be fun!

to buy me a really nice digital camera for my Birthday/Christmas gift. My birthday is Christmas Eve so it puts extra stress on him to do special things for me.

I haven’t really been using it as much as he had hoped, so I put it in my bag to carry with me everywhere I go.

It is a very excellent camera with capabilities to take a 30 second streaming video and panoramic photos plus an excellent zoom feature.

I feel the spirit of Ansel Adams stopping by to give me some pointers.
