February was a great month skiing for me. I actually left ski school and now just ski for myself. This means I’m skiing the ridge and slushman’s way more which has been great. Here are some of my favorite shots from the month: These were shot with a mix of my iphone 13 mini, fuji […]

I’ve decided to try to get back into taking photos every day again. This is a recap of my PAD (photo a day) that I’m trying to do during ski season. I’m also hoping to ski every day all season. This should get the ball rolling with ~120 images in a PAD in April when […]

As a family we hadn’t seen a bear yet since moving to Montana. I saw 4 last summer, 1 driving home from Bridger, one driving out Fairy lake road, 1 hiking in the Spanish peaks (a cub and we didn’t see mom!!!) and one driving through YNP too far away with too short a lens. […]

Took a drive today through YNP to the beartooths then home again. Skied Gardiner headwall while in the beartooths. Had a great day and saw some fun wildlife!

Went for a hike today, Fairy lake to Sacajawea to Naya Nuki then skied the great one. I brought the 200-600 with me which is a first for me (bringing the real camera skiing, especially BC skiing with a long hike). I did it hoping to see a few goats and I was not disappointed!

I finally picked up a sony 200-600mm. Since moving to Montana and this lens getting announced I’ve felt like it’s the lens for wildlife photography. I’ve been considering one for a long time but finally bit the bullet, sold the 100-400 and got one! I didn’t own them both at the same time so I […]

Took the kids for a “forced field trip” yesterday. We found this guy/gal hanging out on top of a tree. It was one of two eagles we found.

Long lenses have always been something I’ve used in my photography. When I first got a film body in the 90s I had a 70-300mm variant. I’ve since gone through four camera systems (canon, nikon, canon again, fuji and now sony). On each system I’ve had a long lens of some sort. They basically fall […]

I was invited to actually surf today. Instead I took the camera along and had some fun but stayed warm and dry! I’m working on a Sony 200-600mm review but figured I’d share 4 images from today. I’ve got a ton more surging images to edit but figured I’d get one done tonight. Enjoy.

I skied 100 consecutive days this past winter. Not a 100 day season, (yes I got that too, I’m at 143 days on the season as I write this in May and 31 consecutive months) but 100 consecutive days. I did this by becoming a ski instructor at Bridger this past winter. I worked there […]
