It was back in June when I indicated that I was going to start flexing a few of my creative muscles outside of photography, and I’ve been doing pretty good at expanding my creative endeavors this past year, although it took me a few months to finally post something here on the site that wasn’t…

Did you know that there’s only five days remaining in our Summit to Sea Kickstarter campaign? Yep, we’re well into the final week of our fundraising efforts, but unfortunately aren’t anywhere near reaching our goal, at least without a “Lent miracle” or something. As of this afternoon, our current total is just shy of $2,000,…

It hasn’t quite been a week that I’ve been here at the Jentel Residency, but I’m already being productive, which I have to confess is something of a relief. As in the Netherlands, I came here without a strong idea of precisely what I’d be doing, but I’m keeping myself busy, and have a project…

Yesterday Lorie dropped me off at the Jentel Artist Residency, and now, just about twenty-four hours later, I’m settled in, and have started to make some work. Well, kind of make some work… I’ve been doing a lot of brainstorming about it, but haven’t really cranked anything out yet. What I’ve produced in the last…

If you’ve watched the interview from last week with KPAX about the Summit to Sea project, and were wondering what the heck I was talking about when I first appeared on camera pointing away saying, “Dipper!”, then this is the post for you. The American Dipper is what I had spotted, a type of bird…

Lorie and I are currently visiting my folks here in the Bitterroot, and because we’ve been staying at their place, I’ve been perusing the bookshelves of my childhood room. It’s been fun to see some of the old books that I’ve forgotten, or that I’ve remembered. It’s kind of an eclectic mix, really: interspersed among…

As our fundraising efforts for the Summit to Sea project continue, we’ve been very fortunate to have managed to get some good press for our plan in more traditional media. A couple of weeks ago we were interviewed by a gentleman from the Billings Gazette and were featured in an article in the Sunday edition…

The Summit to Sea project has now been fundraising for just over a week, and we’ve made good progress. As of this morning, we’re 6% of the way toward our goal. With about 34 days remaining before our February 29th deadline, we’ve clearly got a lot to go yet! Let me give a big “thank…

I’ve just received some really great news this afternoon! I just found out that I was accepted to the 2012 group for the Pacific Northwest Photography Viewing Drawers at the Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon. What that means is that I was selected as one of a group of photographers from the greater Northwest…

Yesterday our bank verification came through, so Lorie and I were able to hit the big green “Launch” button for our Kickstarter campaign! The Summit to Sea project is officially raising funds now, and as you can see, we’ve already had few donations in first 24 hours of the campaign. Thanks, backers Now that the…
