Field Notes & Photo Stories
I shoot far more than what ends up in the shop. These are the rest — the rodeos, the ruins, the river towns, the far corners of the world. Too good to sit in a folder. Too important to forget.
Republic of Albania
From the turquoise waters of the Southern Albanian Riviera to the cobblestone streets of Gjirokaster and the ancient walls of Berat — a journey through one of Europe's last undiscovered corners.
Jordan, Egypt & The Eternal Nile
From the ancient rose-red city of Petra to the temples of Abu Simbel and a slow cruise down the eternal Nile — a journey through two of the world's oldest civilizations, told one photograph at a time.
Day on the Ranch
From sunrise to sundown, the Borderview Bell Ranch doesn't slow down for anyone. Hard ground, long days, and land that runs as far as the eye can see — this is the kind of ranch life that built this country, and still does.
Saint Marie
Once home to nuclear-armed bombers on 24-hour alert, the Glasgow Air Force Base now stands silent — a ghostly reminder of the Cold War that played out right here on the Montana prairie.
Ice Boating Racing
Ice runs in the veins of these sailors. It has to — because racing a boat meant to reach speeds 4 to 5 times the blowing wind across a frozen lake in the dead of winter isn't for anyone else.
Governor's Cup Fishing Tournament
Behind the scenes at Montana's biggest fishing tournament — where the biggest fish in Fort Peck Lake and serious prize money bring anglers from across the country to the Middle of Nowhere.
Resting in Rust
Abandoned garages and forgotten workshops scattered across Eastern Montana — where rust tells the story of the hands that once worked here and the lives that moved on.
The Curious History of Montana's Vintage License Plates
Every Montana license plate starts with a number — but what does it mean and where did it come from? The answer is older and more interesting than you'd think.
Greece
From the Minoan palaces of Crete to the cradle of democracy on the Greek mainland and the Venetian fortresses of the Ionian Coast — three thousand years of history written in stone. Greece doesn't just have history, it is history.
Bucking, Barrels, & Roping
Saddle up and come down to the arena. Bucking, barrels, and roping — where true grit isn't just a saying, it's a requirement.
Red Bottom Celebration
Drumbeats, dancers, and a community coming together on the Fort Peck Reservation. The Red Bottom Celebration in Frazer, Montana is one of the most vibrant and welcoming cultural events in Northeast Montana.
Farver Farms
The Farver family has been working this land for generations. Follow the journey from the fields all the way to your dinner table — a true farm to fork success story.
Crash and Smash
The rules are simple — be the last car running. High drama and adrenaline-fueled carnage that teeters on the edge of chaos — welcome to the Milk River Motorsports Demolition Derby.
Home of the Scotties
Small towns do homecoming right. The Glasgow Scotties parade is a celebration of community, tradition, and the kind of excitement that brings everyone out to the street.
Frozen Fish Sticks
A frozen lake, a hole in the ice, and the belief that today's the day the big one bites. Welcome to ice fishing in Northeastern Montana.
