I wonder how many generations have walked this wooden sidewalk. I wonder how grandchildren were scolded for running and jumping too close too its abrupt edge. Perhaps you were one of those grandchildren, or your father or mother was. And where were they going? Were they dressed in bonnets and dresses for Sunday church at …

First off – this old, likely dead (or soon to be) tree is, well, a new obsession of mine! I’ve driven this road literally at least 1,000 times. The name of the street? No idea… When you go up Montana Street as NORTH as you can go, it forks. Go right – this is that road. It has a weird little turn off on the side of the road and ends up meeting Main Street.
But rather than be a normal human being – I didn’t park in the turn-off.
I parked in the middle of the road, blinkers on…
“I’ll just be here like 5 seconds – nobody will come….” Turned into 1 minute…2 minutes…5 minutes….10 minutes? I’m not really sure how long.
But at least 5 people drove by.
Morning light. Orange leaves. The Broadway Garage. And….still some green grass even WITH the snow a few days ago!
I consider it a gift when we’re all given something like the fog in Butte. Because the thing about the fog in Butte? Is it doesn’t usually cover the entire city. So you can drive either up or down the hill, and be in the warm sunshine looking down upon the city with buildings and …
The great thing about doing a project, is you get to make the rules! And one of my rules is that if I come across something I like, I can just photograph that, instead of HAVING to do a recreation of 10 years ago. So here it is, Granite Street evening light…
***NOTE: This is a project where I’m going back to the original photos from 2008, and re-photographing the same thing or scene.*** The sign I photographed in 2008 is no loner on the side of the Vogue Cleaner’s building (you can see the post here). However, the screen door is still open at the top …

The great thing about this time of year is I don’t have to get up at Butte’s butt crack of dawn in order to get great light. 7 am (ish) is sunrise. Vs. 5 am(ish) in the summer. 10 years ago 10 years ago I photographed the Silver Bow Center’s interior (check out that at …

Am I in a Disney Movie? All that’s missing is rays of sunshine and bluebirds singing. …Rewind a a few minutes… The morning started a bit earlier than I’d like on a Sunday, with my 5 year old waking me up with a sore throat. Getting back into my warm bed was tempting…but alas, there …

In 2008, I photographed a macro photo of a door on the Whelan Tire warehouse…since then, as many of you likely know, it burned down. Since I started this “recreating/re-imagining 10 years go from Butte Daily Photo” I’ve been contemplating what I would do in an instance where the building/property/THING no longer existed! 1. Would …

My nostrils fill with the scent of salty deep fryer juices. If I were in a Looney Tunes episode, you would see a cloud of wavy lines flowing out of the upstairs windows and into my nose. The familiar sound of the clinking and clanking of dishes being stacked after cleaning rings in my ears. …

Photos of The Original Than & Now: (You can see the original post from 2008 at this link) 10 years ago their were holes in the side of the hoist house, which I actually found very intriguing and charming. For whatever reason natural urban decay fascinates me. So last year vs. this year of the …
