. Captured on my way to work this morn. Seriously, all I want to do is make photographs and play with my dogs. Is that so bad? #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography #Montana

PCC winter mailing. Routes and roots. 02.26 #postcardcollective #collage #blueskyart #postcardart

. I'm an architectural photographer by trade. For the #BlueSkyArtShow, this is how us "pros" avoid #Sunlight creating glare in the shot. Feel free to send me $100 instead of buying an expensive filter, thank you! 🤪 #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana

. I captured this the other day while I was out for a walk. I just really liked the stillness of it. We made it to another Friday! #EastCoastKin #scape #monochrome #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography #Montana

. Forgive me for not posting any new images this evening. I've been too busy vomiting. #EastCoastKin #Montana #HorribleFuckingPeople #Racism

. Before we call it a night, my boys would like to show you how stressed they are. Please send marrow bones. Good night, all! #EastCoastKin #samoyed #dogsofbluesky

. When it was finally my turn at the car wash. Have a great day, y'all! #WindowsOnWednesday #WaterfallWednesday #RedWed #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #CarWash

. I'm worse than a 5 year old child when it comes to waiting. Thankfully, I had a camera with me yesterday. Can you guess what song was running through my head? You can thank me later for the earworm! #WindowsOnWednesday #WaterfallWednesday #RedWed #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #CarWash

. A snowless #Montana on Feb. 2nd with temperatures in the 50˚ F range. I needed to get out and touch grass (as the kids say). Three rivers join here at the headwaters to create the Missouri River, and then travel 2300 miles east to St. Louis. #EastCoastKin #RockinTuesday #BlueTue #photography

. 'Crossing Railroad Crossings' I don't even know how to categorize this, but it caught my eye on the way home yesterday. Have a great Monday! #EastCoastKin #photography #monochrome #Montana #ClassicMono

. Just a fun cell phone photo from today while visiting my friends. The two on the chair are brother and sister, the one closest to the camera is brothers with the one barely visible by the door. Mayhem ensued. #EastCoastKin #Samoyed #DogsOfBlueSky

. One more for the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Clouds. I loved the almost steampunk vibe of these normally quite unattractive fuel storage tanks. Also from 2023. #EastCoastKin #monochrome #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography #Montana

. For the #BlueSkyArtShow theme of #Clouds, I give you the year 2023 in southwest Montana. The entire year was the most stunning cloudforms I have ever seen. #EastCoastKin #monochrome #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. Today was just a dreary day from start to finish. Not even a peek of sun, and of course I had to work and make things "look pretty"! Here's from a couple of summers ago. #EastCoastKin #Montana #Scape #photography

. Okay, last image of my boy, Strummer. This is the one he uses for his profile photo on some dating app. Or I do. I forget which one. #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #Montana #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. I'm gonna stick with dogs for another day. This is my rockstar, Strummer. He knows how to work the camera! I hope everyone is doing as well as possible. #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #Montana #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. My boy, Zevon (Cabinet Dog) displaying his normal disregard for me and the camera as opposed to the prior photo I posted. He makes me laugh all the time! #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #Montana #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. Zevon, aka Cabinet Dog, when I somehow managed to get him to smile for the camera. #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #Montana #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. I live in a rural subdivision in the middle of nowhere. I'm likely the only Jew, and likely one of the few libs in the area. My neighbors, as diametrically opposed as we may be, need help. I donate to our local food bank because I can't deal with their kids going hungry. Look at the big picture.

. It seems that everyone in #Montana drives a pickup truck. Consequently, there's always stuff falling out of them. I see everything from this to entire couches on the side of the highway. I have a wacky idea for a series.... #EastCoastKin #photography #monochrome #ClassicMono

. My boy, Strummer, on the left who loves the camera (he's a freakin' rock star) and Zevon (Cabinet Dog) on the right that hates being photographed. Just happy shit. One of my favorites from 2025. #EastCoastKin #photography #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #AnimalArtTuesday

. For #MountainMonday and #BlueSkyMonday, this is the Beartooth mountain range seen from Lamar Valley in Yellowstone National Park early one winter. I need to work today, so I'll see y'all later. Have a great Monday! #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #YNP

. I may have posted this before, but I'm tryna just post cute or happy things for a few days! This is a mule deer that knew when it was her turn to shine! #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #Stunday #wildlife

. I forget who coined the name 'Cabinet Dog' for my boy, Zevon, but five years ago I permanently lost use of this space for storage. This is him packing it in for the night this past Friday. #EastCoastKin #photography #dogsofbluesky #Samoyed

. I have a box of postcards and letters from 1943/44 that my dad sent to his dad when he was in the army. I'm finally getting around to digitizing them. My dad ended up in Italy fighting the nazis. He caught a grenade in the back for his efforts. And here we are again today. #EastCoastKin

. Only one of us was very #Cold for this #BlueSkyArtShow photoshoot. This is Zevon, aka 'Cabinet Dog'. More on that later. #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #Samoyeds #ClassicMono #monochrome #Monochrome #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. Late Night Music Break I had thrown on a playlist while making dinner tonight and this song came on. I was dancing in the kitchen (I dance pretty well for an old white boy!) and the dogs were watching me like they watch a squirrel in a tree! I've seen Iggy both with and without The Stooges.

. Paradise Valley just north of Yellowstone Nat'l Park. For reference, my back is to the park's northern entrance. #EastCoastKin #Montana #Scape #ClassicMono #monochrome #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. I saw that '2016' has been trending today, and I got sadder than I was. This past Tuesday marked 10 years since my partner passed. Photo from a trip to Seattle. We had stopped to run the dogs. Sigh #EastCoastKin #photography #monochrome #ClassicMono

. Missing all their #WindowsOnWednesday, but if anyone needs parts for their International Scout, just reach out and I'll go hack them off for you. #EastCoastKin #monochrome #Montana #photography #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #International #Scout

. Standing at the end of my driveway in 7˚ F temperatures and my dogs are rolling their eyes at me. Anyone know what all these colors in the sky are? (ISO 3200, f/2.8, 22 sec) #EastCoastKin #aurora #photography #montana

. For #RockinTuesday, the Yellowstone Chapel in Mammoth, WY (Yellowstone National Park), built in 1913 when the US Army managed the park. Local sandstone was used for the structure. The light was just perfect that day. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #photography

. Because I have time while waiting for the aurora, here's more from the Garden of One Thousand Buddhas in Arlee, #Montana as a follow-up to my prior post. Visit if you can. #EastCoastKin #photography #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday

. Garden of One Thousand Buddhas in Arlee, #Montana. One of the most pleasantly surprising locations I have ever photographed in Montana. Zoom in and see all the Buddhas! #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyMonday #photography #MountainMonday

. My first winter in #Montana and Yellowstone National Park. As much as I try, I cannot duplicate the purity and innocence of my first time seeing this winter scene. To this day, my favorite bison photo. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography #wildlife #YNP

. Judging by all the staples and the cans, I'd say this telephone pole has seen some shit. No context photo of the day. #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography

. I promise this is the last #One of this grain elevator because I just didn't capture any more! Amsterdam, #Montana #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #scape #blackandwhitephotography #RuralDecay #photography

. I promise this will be the last one of this grain elevator. Maybe. Amsterdam, #Montana #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #scape #blackandwhitephotography #RuralDecay #photography

. A little more up close and personal version of yesterday's image in Amsterdam, #Montana. I hope y'all are doing okay. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography #RuralDecay #photography

. Last time I was by here, I didn't have a wide enough lens with me. Almost went off without a hitch today. 🙄 Tall grain elevators on a very narrow road in Amsterdam, #Montana. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #photography #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography

. From a guy that is partially responsible for fomenting the current environment. Fuck you, Rogan.

. Found this little guy on our walk today. If anyone can take him in and give him a place to call home, just reach out. He's very well rounded. #ToyotaTuesday #EastCoastKin #photography #ClassicMono #monochrome #toyota

. Two cute little chickadees warm up in the early morning sun. Known as the 'horaltic pose', this warming of the body helps these birds fly almost effortlessly for hours. #BirdOfTheDay #natural #EastCoastKin #photography #birds #Montana

. For #SamoyedSunday (yes, it's a thing), this is my older boy. His self-appointed job is to never let me out of his sight as opposed to my other boy who is like "Dude, I've got more important shit to do". #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBluesky #Samoyed #Photography #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography

. Late Night Music Break If for no other reason than the theatrics of Mark Stein killing it on vocals/keyboard and Carmine Appice on drums, watch this video. That, and it's a great cover of a great song. My dad let me stay up for this show. C'mon people, let yourself enjoy something. You need it.

. Abandoned cabin along the Missouri River. Another of my personal favorites for a myriad of reasons. It's even in color!!!! 🤪 Been a long week. I hope y'all are good. #EastCoastKin #scape #Montana #photography #abandoned

. Comet, #Montana This was the first true ghost town (no preservation) that I had ever come across. Little did I expect to become completely fascinated with these abandoned, falling down types of towns. #EastCoastKin #monochrome #photography #ghosttown #ClassicMono #abandoned

. This needs no explanation. I apologize for my entire generation that no matter how much we tried, nothing fucking changed. youtu.be/J9INnMMwvnk?...
