Oh, c'mon folks! A Christmas Corgi!! What could be better??????

. Christmas day 2023. Mule deer and hoarfrost in my backyard. Whether you celebrate or not, have a great Christmas Day! #EastCoastKin #Montana #Christmas #wildlife #photography

. Glacier National Park. I didn't get a chance to visit this year, hopefully I will be able to make up for it in '26. #RockinTuesday #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #mountains #Montana #photography #blachandwhitephotography #monochrome

. Another angle of this barn. Last year, a 26 acre property was added to a state park. On that 26 acres, there's a house, barn, outbuildings. I assume most will be razed. #EastCoastKin #photography #monochrome #abandoned #Montana #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography

. This barn was the structure that drew me to my tragic fall over the fence. Somehow, my camera captured this image, probably on my way down when I let it go for both of our safety..... #EastCoastKin #photography #monochrome #abandoned #Montana #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #stunday

. TLDR: State owned, 'No Trespassing' signs everywhere. I accidentally fell over the fence and my camera started shooting random photos. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (psst, more to come!) #EastCoastKin #photography #monochrome #BlueSkyArtShow #OpenHouse #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography.

. Just wrapping up my small town tour (yes, I hear that collective sigh of relief!) with one more business. Coincidentally, right next door to the barber shop. #EastCoastKin #UrbanGaze #photography #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotograpy #Montana #smalltown

. Once again, y'all. With no algorithm to speak of on BlueSky, make a list of those you especially enjoy, and be sure to refer to said list. You ain't never gonna get through the many thousands of accounts you follow otherwise. It's just math. #EastCoastKin

. More of my small town. I don't remember what was here before the barber. Despite the big 'Now Open' sign, the sign on the door states they are on vacation until some time in January. #EastCoastKin #WindowsOnWednesday #WallsOnWedneday #photography #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotograpy #Montana

. More small town stuff. It takes me about 30 minutes to drive into town. All the town proper and where I live have in common is the postal code. Yesterday's clouds on my way home. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome

. Gonna bore y'all with a bit more of my small town. The shining star is the Sacajawea Hotel, built in 1910. It has a decent restaurant, but I've not stayed there. First shot is from Saturday, second is from a few years ago on the side lawn. #EastCoastKin #urbangaze #photography #ClassicMono

. Tonight's sunset was a corker! Taken from my backyard, and my pesky neighbors *still* haven't moved their house out of my way! #EastCoastKin #Stunday #photography #sunset #Montana

. Small town Christmas Stroll in my hometown. "Well, I was born in a small town And I can breathe in a small town" - John Mellencamp - Small Town 1/3 #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography

. For the #BlueSkyArtShow, today's theme is #FavoriteThings. I cannot explain how solid these two are regardless of what type of human shit I am going through at the time. We humans are a pain in the ass. #EastCoastKin #DogsOfBlueSky #photography #Samoyed #Montana

. Like so many other ghost towns in Montana, the people relocated while they still supported the church. Lennep, #Montana. The general store (pictured) and most residents abandoned their lives. How many people could be fed with the $ given to the church? #EastCoastKin #scape #abandoned #ghosttown

. Because I avoid humans like the plague, this is the closest I come to #UrbanGaze. This young being and its sibling darted in front of my truck (both were fine) and climbed the nearest tree. I sent their family this image. #EastCoastKin #HumansOfBluesky #Montana #wildlife #photography

. No great photo, but we have “atmospheric rivers”, rain, snow, ridiculously warm temperatures, and intermittent very high winds here. Just before sunset we got our first break in the clouds last evening. I just loved the impression of movement. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #WeirdWednesday

. I see today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #TurningAway. Yeah, I get zero cooperation. I even had taped a bunch of mice to my head as a gift, but nothing! Mom and juvenile Great Horned Owls. #birds #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana

. Walking through what felt like miles of burned forest with deadfall everywhere, and all that was standing was branchless and lifeless. It was hard to capture without people wondering what they were looking at. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Montana #blackandwhitephotographt #photography

. Just because. My uncle, my dad's brother, circa 1964. Ex-junkie, born again 'Jews for Jesus' sometime later but held to it for the rest of his years. He still had a very cool vibe well after his salvation. Photo taken by my father. #EastCoastKin #photography

. READ THE WHOLE THREAD, PLEASE! My first viral (internet) photo. I noticed the flowers sitting on the rock just left of center. I created this long exposure image, the wind ruffling the plastic around the flowers, hence the blur. 1/4 #EastCoastKin #scape

. Random image along the Yellowstone River in early springtime many years ago. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #mountains

. An odd little shop in Brooklyn, NY. I get the whole religious figures in here, but there's a few that still have me cocking my head like a drug-sniffing dog at an airport. Not that I've ever seen one... #EastCoastKin #WeekWforWindows #WindowsOnWednesday #NewYork #photography

. Anyone know whose dog this is? No collar on. He was just wandering down the road. He's safe in my yard with my two. They're all running around and playing. If he's yours, just message me for my address. #EastCoastKin #photography #dogsofbluesky #Montana

. A cute little goldfinch just at sunset on a cloudy day. #EastCoastKin #birds #Montana #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #photography

. 32 degrees F warmer tonight than it was last night at this time. I'll take it. Nice to not hear the furnace kicking in every 15 minutes. ps. it is snowing, however. #Montana #Winter #EastCoastKin

. For #WeekWforWindows, from September 5, 2025 around 9:00 PM in Brooklyn, New York when my sister suggested we go for the best frozen yogurt ever. She wasn't wrong! (person sitting is not my sister, we're old!) #EastCoastKin #AlphabetChallenge #Brooklyn #NewYork #photography

. I used to live just down the road from this spot. It was my zen place after a day of work. Feels like a million years ago! Also, many thanks for all the likes, reposts and kind words! Y'all rock! ❤️ #EastCoastKin #Stunday #photography #Montana

I couldn't hold out any longer! These were my first 5 vehicles, the '64 was first. '90 Nissan Pathfinder '84 Nissan Stanza (I got married!) '78 Pontiac Grand Am '70 Olds 442 '64 Cadillac Sedan DeVille

. For my friend @kortduce.bsky.social who makes me ashamed that I own cameras 🤪, here's my one favorite bird photo from 2015 along the Madison River in Three Forks, #Montana. Have a wonderful weekend, yall! #EastCoastKin #photography #birds

. Okay, Thanksgiving is over. If you observe it, I hope you had a great day with friends and family. Is it Christmas yet? Downtown Bozeman, #Montana from December 2017. A rare cityscape for me. #EastCoastKin #scape #photography #urbangaze

. When you don't give a crap about the guy six feet from you holding some weird bunch of metal up to his face. And that's a direct quote. (get it?) #EastCoastKin #birds #flyday #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #blackandwhite #photography #wildlife

. Since I have some downtime, I'm starting my annual "reappraise your images and delete a billion of them". I never even processed this one before today. From 2017, Emigrant Peak in Paradise Valley, MT. #EastCoastKin #Montana #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. DePuy Spring Creek in Livingston, #Montana from 2017. I had a dear friend visit and I wanted to increase the odds of actually landing a few trout. Let's just say that we at least had a good time! #EastCoastKin #photography #flyfishing #trout

. Late Night Music Post We lost Jimmy Cliff yesterday. He almost single handedly brought Reggae to the world. His albums have been in my rotation since 1973. Rest in Power, Jimmy. youtu.be/QvBEpwcGM2o?...

. Went on a mosey around my town yesterday. Been going very gentle with the new eyes! Between the vertical lines and the clouds, there was no way I could pass this up! Have a great Monday, y'all! #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Montana #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. I know I've mentioned him before, but my BiL does some amazing collages. I got to poke around his studio when I was visiting! Not AI! Take a peek and give him a follow! #collage #art

. It is #Stunday, so here is last night's sunset. Looking north from my front porch, and more neighbors need to move their homes. For perspective, the snow-capped peaks in the distance are about 35 miles away. Winter is tardy this year. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana

. When I first moved to Montana I spent lots of time in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. Wolves, bison and bears, oh my! Then there's me. #BlueSkyArtShow #small #EastCoastKin #Wildlife #Montana #YNP

. Last of the morbid series for now. Plus, it's Friday and time to #scape. #EastCoastKin #photography #blackandwhitephotography #ClassicMono #Montana #abandoned

. I seem to have made a bazillion of you uncomfortable with my last few posts. It should have. Well into the 1960s, the Montana Deaf and Dumb Asylum still performed involuntary sterilizations. You can change the name of an institution, but a leopard can't change its spots. #EastCoastKin

. "Abandon all hope, ye who enter here" was apparently too lengthy to fit on the poster board in the far left window. Montana Deaf and Dumb Asylum in Boulder, #Montana #EastCoastKin #abandoned #haunted #photography #Monoochrome #blackandwhitephotography

. Originally named Montana Deaf and Dumb Asylum, the campus' first building was constructed in 1898. For roughly the next 100 years, it pretty much tortured people. If you worked there, feel free to DM me with any stories or facts. #Montana #EastCoastKin #photography #blackandwhitephotography

. One of the eeriest places I ever photographed. The Montana State Training School in Boulder. As one Reddit commenter noted "My mom gave my brother to the state when he was 6. We would go visit him there. It was hell on earth." #EastCoastKin #blackandwhitephotography #Montana #ClassicMono

. Another capture of the same rainbow from a couple of days ago. I had waited around for a few minutes and the faint double rainbow showed for a bit as well as some new shadows. #EastCoastKin #Montana #Stunday #photography

. More of me just exercising my new eyes! #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #photography #blackandwhitephotography #Montana

. Tonight's sunset. I've *nicely* asked my neighbor two times to move his house as to not interfere with my sunset photography. I'm at my wit's end. Sigh. People. #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #sunset
