. From three years ago today. When you're the fastest land animal in the country, you can risk getting yelled at for eating someone's hay bale. #EastCoastKin #photography #wildlife #Montana #pronghorn

. Schwabacher Landing in Grand Teton National Park for #scape Friday. I need to visit there again. #EastCoastKin #photography #GTNP #Wyoming #NationalParks #mountains

. Many thanks for all the well-wishes. This is going far smoother than I imagined! Combating boredom seems to be the challenge now! And of course, I can't pass an #abandoned building without photographing it. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #WindowsOnWednesday #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. There's a whole story behind this photo, but to be honest, I'm just testing my eye after my first cataract surgery. Hope y'all are well. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #rodeo

. For the next couple of weeks my presence here will be spotty at best as I get my eyes cleared of cataracts. It's what us photographers do in slow season! 🤪 Just don't want y'all to think I abandoned you. Speaking of abandoned... #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Montana #photography

. It's National Bison Day so here's a napping bison for y'all. #EastCoastKin #NationalBisonDay #bison #YNP #wildlife #photography

. "My name? Raven. Wes Raven. You get it? Look, it's the only joke I know, I'm a bird!" Happy Halloween, y'all. #EastCoastKin #birds #photography #Montana

. Not to harp on this, but I went hungry many days in my early to mid teens. Honestly, I don't care much for the adults that vote MAGA, but their kids should not be held responsible. Please donate to your local food bank if your state isn't extending SNAP benefits after of Nov. 1st. #EastCoastKin

. If your state, like mine, won't be extending SNAP benefits as of Nov. 1st, and you have a little extra $$, please make a donation to your local food bank. Every little bit will help. I did my part today. Thank you. #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography

. In Moose, Wyoming with the Teton Range just a short hop away, sits the TA Moulton Barn in what is referred to as Mormon Row. Arguably the world's most photographed barn, I had to make sure I captured it. I may never see it again. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. For #WaxwingWednesday, an old capture of four cedar waxwings. I was beyond thrilled to stumble on this gang at the time. I hope y'all are hangin' in there. #EastCoastKin #birds #photography #montana

. For #ToxicTuesday, if you find yourself in the middle of nowhere except for this old well pump, and someone has intentionally warned you, do NOT drink the water. Trust me. #EastCoastKin #Montana #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #BetterThirstyThanDead #photography

. For #MountanMonday and #BlueSkyMonday, from just outside of Bozeman, #Montana in 2022. There's so many amazing photos of Montana that I always try to get the less common images and more spur of the moment captures. #EastCoastKin #photography

. I've got nothing official for #stunday, but here's one of my favorite photos of #birds. I inquired of the pelican as to what was going on, and he explained to me that he was their tour guide. It seemed reasonable to me. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana

. Most of the abandoned structures I photograph are unsound, and I loathe the idea of stepping #inside. This town and railroad station was originally named Magpie about 1910. The station was in use until about 1950. #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. I'm late to the game today, as usual. As winter approaches in #Montana, I find myself looking back just a bit time-wise to remember the beautiful days. #EastCoastKin #scape #photography #GNP

. This badly needs a clever title, but I'll be damned if I can think of one. #EastCoastKin #urbangaze #Montana

Arches 3. Holy Cross Church, Crediton Oct 25. Minolta Hi-Matic G2 and Kentmere Pan 200. #photos #photography #filmphotography #BelieveInFilm

. First photo is from about 10 years ago. Second is from today. There's a long story about its history and its demise by the elements, as well as this attempt at restoration. There's more in the ALT text. #EastCoastKin #Montana #KPRK #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. One of my boys killed a pheasant this evening. He was nice enough to bring the poor thing to me, but wouldn't release it for fear that my other boy would get it. It took a bit to remove the poor bird from the jaws of nature. Never a dull moment as Chez Strummer. Sigh.

. For #WindowsOnWednesday from 2017, an oldie but goodie as radio DJs used to say. Comet, #Montana. An abandoned mining town that has slowly been sold off in parcels over the last decade or so. #EastCoastKin #photography #ghosttown

. A no context photo for this evening. #EastCoastKin #photography #wildlife #Montana #bighorn

. As much as the "urban" areas in #Montana have exploded over the last five or six years, there's still plenty of places that you can stop your truck in the middle of the road and capture a few images. Captured this past Saturday. #EastCoastKin #MountainMonday #BlueSkyMonday #photography

. I desperately needed to get out and touch some grass (as the kids say) Saturday. I left the dogs at home (a rarity) and headed out. The world did not disappoint. Enjoy your Sunday. #EastCoastKin #Stunday #photography #Montana

. As an architectural photographer by trade, it's mandatory to keep verticals #vertical. For #BlueSkyArtShow, I present the Yellowstone Chapel in Mammoth, Wyoming which is in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. Because I loathe anything AI, for you folks that use Google for searches, if you add '-ai' to your search, you won't get the robot ai answer (for now). Same question asked, one with the -ai suffix and one without. Try it with something that means something to you. #EastCoastKin #KillAI

. I'm gonna stay with the bison theme for one more day! If you ever get a chance to visit Yellowstone National Park in winter, do so. It can be otherworldly. One huge snow #scape. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Montana #Wyoming #YNP #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. Just in case y'all needed a bunch of bison. I had to shoo them out of my back yard. How they got the gate open is beyond me. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #Montana

. For #WhatIDoForWorkWednesday and #WindowsOnWednesday, I present a home I photographed and had to sign an NDA regarding buyers/sellers. I have this exact court in my home, but I could only afford 3 basketballs. #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography #Why

. For whatever reason, 2023 was an amazing year for cloudforms in my part of #Montana. Even a ho-hum stop at a gas station was off the charts. I give you this jewel for #TankerTuesday (yes, I made that up). #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. Here's a couple from back in the film days almost 35 years ago. Maui was a treat for us both. #EastCoastKin #BlueSkyMonday #Maui #photography

. It has been raining from well before I woke up and for the last 18+ hours so far, except for a five minute break late this morning. This was that break. This rainbow was gone in fewer than five minutes as the clouds smothered it. #Stunday #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana

. I'm not sure if this is officially alpenglow, but that's what I call it. Absaroka mountains, #Montana #BlueSkyArtShow #glow #EastCoastKin #photography

. I'm still working through some NY photos, so here's a city #scape of some Citi Bikes. Why a bank got into bicycles is beyond me.. #EastCoastKin #NewYork #Brooklyn #photography

. Rodeo clowns. Ain't nothing funny about them either. I so rarely photograph people, I always have to dig deep when it is #HumansOfBluesky day. #Montana #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. I missed last night's full harvest moon, so here's a lame attempt from my front porch of tonight's moon for all you lunartics. #EastCoastKin #Montana #lunar

. Because I'm a sucker for vertical lines (go figure that I'm an architectural photographer, huh?), I submit my #WindowsOnWednesday image. 10 years ago when it was built, this building was hot stuff. Now, not so much. #EastCoastKin #photography #Bozeman #Montana

. I have always liked this image, and I am sure I have posted it before. For #BlueSkyMonday and #MountainMonday, I give you Livingston, #Montana. I hope everyone's Monday has been tolerable. #EastCoastKin #photography

. Random image during a lunar eclipse some years ago. Just in case your feed needs a break from the politics. #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography

. One more for this week's #BlueSkyArtShow, the theme is #Relax. Another client shoot, this one in the mountains. Why people still hire me is beyond me! 🤪 #EastCoastKin #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #photography #Montana

. Even when I am on a client shoot, as this one was, I tend to catch a more solitary feeling. i'm not for everybody. For this week's #BlueSkyArtShow the theme is #Relax. #EastCoastKin #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #photography #Montana

. For #FallingApartFriday, a long abandoned home in Pony, #Montana. Just to the left is the huge Morris State Bank building that I've posted in the past. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #ghosttown #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. One more salvaged from last night's aurora. Lots of pinks, magentas and purples in this one. Five minutes later, there was nothing. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana

. About the only salvageable image from last night's aurora. Looks better in full size. #EastCoastKin #photography

. Ridiculously late night post. My rockstar boy posing for his headshots for Teen Beat magazine. I didn't have the heart to tell him.. #dogsofbluesky #EastCoastKin #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. I caught just a few minutes of Aurora Borealis, quite accidentally actually, and I am giddy! Hopefully, I got some post-worthy images. It's cloudy, and the lights were faint. I'm such a geek.

. Forgive my partial absence. Life keeps getting in the way. This angel was left behind by the prior owner when my friends bought their house in Butte, #Montana. It's big and heavy, and one of my dogs never fails to pee on it! #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. Late Night Music Break Bronski Beat's debut album, The Age Of Consent was released in 1984. Jimmy Somerville owns the most amazing falsetto. As their only top 100 song, it got a lot of play in the dance clubs in Boston at the time. Great album, but not for the narrow-minded.
