By and large... Montana.
My kids and the places we explore.
Water, canoes, rafting, camping, woods, hunting and fishing.
Night.

All Images are by me.
Most are works-in-progress... first drafts. This is a sort of cross-section of my life. A collection of artwork and snapshot from the day-to-day activity.

Answers to frequently asked questions:

I do like apples and making hard cider out of them.
I am distantly related to John Chapman.
I like Scottish music... like Mogwai.

Thanks for stopping by....

Photo with 26 notes

This picture was somewhat unintentional.  It’s an extreme crop, maybe 1/9 of the overall image.  I had no plan on working on it, but I wanted to get that elk in the field even if I only had a 200mm and not an 800mm.  My verdict is still out on it.  Part of me likes how it looks like a pencil drawing from being pixelated. Part of me thinks it stinks.  Whatever, I saw a hugh bull elk wandering a pasture by the stream.  He was awesome.
