This is me taking a nap on my dad's back, in the Elkhorn Mountains around 1982 with the family dog, Buster.

Everyone was packed up for our first backpacking trip in Elkhorn Mountains around 1982. I was 1 1/2. It cracks me up that my mom had to carry a duffel bag.

That's me on the left and Cody on the right on Canyon Ferry Reservoir.

This is Cody on the Stillwater River with Tiber, the dog.

Another shot from my first backpacking trip in the Elkhorn mountains.
At any rate. It's the most inspiring performance to photograph. The dancers are world class. I am excited to photograph it again this year. It takes place this Wednesday evening. I highly recommend going. It is world class ballet right here in Bozeman, Montana. You can order tickets online at the Youth Arts in Action website.
I apologize for the terrible scan quality.. what can I say, its newsprint.
Hope to see you all there.

Amazing photos! and amazing dancers...I wished I could have seen them being photographed! You have an artists eye...your own way of seeing which is a gift for us! Too bad about the lack of recognition...it happens. But I think the covers are gorgeous! I look forward to seeing shots from the next shoot! Love you so, Mom

(06.04.10 @ 7:34PM)Here is a little information I grabbed directly from the Double T River Ranch website:
Hot, sunny summertime lounging and listening to the river. The cold clear beauty of snow-covered meadows and awe-inspiring mountain backdrops. Deer and moose grazing under blaze orange fall foliage. Bald eagles soaring silhouetted against true blue skies. Private riverside trails wandering through aspen groves and towering cottonwoods to brilliant wildflower meadows...
Just another day at the Double T River Ranch. Come live for a while at your Montana home.
The Double T River Ranch is different. Not a guest ranch, not your typical vacation home. It's your ranch, your way. Discover one of Montana's hidden gems...
