Flathead Lake and Tina
Saturday, May 30th, 2009
One of the things I enjoy about traveling to do my figure work is the chance to meet and work with a variety of models who live in the areas I visit. I’ve encountered some very beautiful and talented models this way. Tinytina is a perfect example of this. I contacted her through Model Mayhem […]

I’m at the studio today catching up on e-mail and setting up my new studio computer while my mechanic figures out how much damage the deer did to my truck. Not much new to report here, but here’s another photo from the trip. That’s _G_ freezing on a fallen tree at Flathead Lake. You may […]
Home Again
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009
_G_ and I made it home last night after a long two-day drive from Dave Swanson’s place in northern Minnesota. It was a great visit with Dave and his wife. A fine way to end this trip. We traveled 4930 miles in 83 hours and 10 minutes of driving time. We had a great time, […]
And now for something completely different…

We are on our way to Dave Swanson’s home for a visit. Stopped for the night in North Dakota and went to check out a ghost town not far from where we are staying. No time for words…have to get on the road…but here are a few shots from our quick ghost shoot.
Up The Creek
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009
Yesterday we hiked a trail up to Apikuni Falls on the east side of the park. It was only a one-mile hike, but the trail guide described it as “calf burning.” It was all steeply uphill. There was still snow on the trail in many places. But there was no exposure to a fall, at […]
Don’t Let The Wildlife Get Your Goat
Saturday, May 23rd, 2009
The wild creatures in Glacier are in the majority. We’ve seen all sorts of animals. It’s been great. And we haven’t had to use our bear spray yet. Yesterday we did see a couple bears. A mother black bear and her cub were right beside the road when we drove slowly by in the Many […]
Icing the Models
Wednesday, May 20th, 2009
It’s cold today. And windy. And cloudy. And rainy. Great weather for photos, unless you happen to be a nude model. Then it’s bad news. But I work with the very best, bravest, toughest figure models in the world. And they proved that again today. We met Montana model Tinytina at 8 a.m. and headed […]
Cold, Wet and Dirty
Tuesday, May 19th, 2009
I often tell my models that they will get cold and wet and dirty if they work with me. That’s what happened to Brooke today. At least for a short while in the morning. It was cold and raining this morning. We got up early and drove to the park to shoot at a spot […]
Old McDonald Had A Lake, Gaea, Gaea, Oh!
Monday, May 18th, 2009
Our first day of shooting in Glacier went very well, as you can see. Temperatures were in the upper 70s. We ended the day by hiking to Avalanche Lake. We hadn’t intended that to be the last thing we did, but the hike was more strenuous and took longer than we had expected, so we […]
Oh, Deer!
Sunday, May 17th, 2009
We are happily planted in a nice condo near Glacier National Park. The drive here was not completely without incident. First, it was 1,310 miles. In one day. We left Minneapolis at 3:45 a.m. Central Time and arrived in Columbia Falls at 11:30 p.m. Mountain Time. The last 100 miles was through small towns on […]
