Montana Photo

I’m finally out of my cast and free! Well sort of… still hobbling around and won’t be running any races anytime soon, but I am able to get around a little bit. Good thing too, as I had to shoot the 38 Special Bike race up near York this last weekend.

The race is a fundraiser for the York volunteer fire department and it’s start is held there. The race is appropriately a 38 mile ride through some beautiful country and passes along some awesome canyon areas.

It has grown in popularity over the past few years since starting in 2004 and has close to 200 riders.

I was reminded of why I love Montana while spending the day parked over a phenomenal canyon overlook photographing people having fun and pedaling their asses off.

Not a bad way to spend the day, even if it was work.

I was bummed that I missed most of the stuff happening through the middle of this summer, but relieved when I saw we still had some events happening toward the end of August. If you want a schedule of all of the rodeos that are held in Montana, check out Travel Montana’s rodeo schedule here.

Ran across Tim’s site the other day… Great stuff. Tim teaches at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula and has some really awesome photography on his site. Check it out at Tim Cooper Photography.

But after running Montana Photo since earlier this year, it’s become more apparent where to direct my content. Read the rest of this entry »

This lens is so big that it even comes with it’s own girl! Well maybe not, but it should when you see it’s price tag. I pasted this article from B&H that talks a little about this unique lens. Pretty sweet, but if you’re interested you might have to take out a second mortgage… Read the rest of this entry »
