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.

You would think as a professional photographer I would get a chance to do this on a daily basis. Some aspects of photography take on the shape of a normal job (A situation in which I work hard at avoiding), and end up being a part of the routine. For the most part Everyday I am either taking pictures or working on pictures but sometimes in the face of life we forget about our passions and neglect the reasons for pursuing our passion in the first place. Often in the daily routine of shooting for clients I fail to take the personal pictures that matter the most for me. For me the goal of taking pictures every day may be unreasonable, but part of the process is the actual development or finalization of the pictures I have taken So this goal is a daily goal of either taking pictures or working on the post production end of my personal picture.

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. :)

taking pictures of your everyday life is a great way to document your life and look back at the things you do.

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. ;)

I am addicted to photography! I love the thought that my talents are helping to preserve special memories for families to enjoy for generations. This is SO worth it.

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.
