I LOVE Montana...do I have to go home?

I have wanted to go to Montana since I was a sophomore in High school.  Ten years later, I have been blessed with the opportunity to work in Montana for too short of a period of time.  I have fallen in love with this place.  While I have been here I had the opportunity to see Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Tetons .  Here are just a couple of images that still can't hold a candle to the rugged beauty the West holds.

Chocolate Assignment

This table top image was created in studio with a farrell light and a digital scanning back for a medium format Hasselblad camera.  This was my first experience with the scanning backs.  I loved it.  I wanted to take a popular chocolate, but connect it back to nature. I took it a step farther and added "dirt"(cocoa powder) in the background.  Despite popular belief; chocolate is healthy in moderation and is frankly a lot of fun to shoot.
