This Spearmint add is probably my favorite ghost sign in Butte….Ghost signs are had to photograph. There are power lines, sometimes you can’t get back far enough to get the entire sign, and the light rarely hits the ones that are hidden in the alleys.
I always see the light shining off the uptown buildings just before sunset while I’m on my way uptown. Once I get uptown, however, the windows aren’t shining. the angle of light isn’t the same and I’m left without a decent photo. I took this photo from farther away so I could still capture the …
Somehow everything got complete in time for the opening. Normally the two metal tables/bars won’t be there. I was using them for food and beverages. You can see my studio lighting equipment behind the tables. While it is in working order right now, there is still much that needs to be done, including the electrical …
The floors are freshly painted black, and so is the trim. All that’s left is putting in the red shag carpets, painting the back wall red, hanging the photos and moving everything in! Well, I guess that’s a lot of stuff to do in 24 hours…but it will get done!
Robert Hyatt is revamping the Milly Building, which is across the street from the Courthouse. I love the old wood decor above the doorways and front window. It’s very intricate and unique.

Also, be sure to attend my Studio and Gallery Grand Opening on Friday! It’s form 6-8:30 pm at 119 Hamilton Street in Butte. There will be …
This is the AWARE recycling building, just off of Arizona Street near the Newbro Drug Co. Building. The light inside silhouetted the garbage, making it look proud and quite dramatic.
The little girl with the bubbles might be my favorite photos from the Festival. I really didn’t take any musician photos! I was just having too much fun taking photographs of people. Part of me wishes I would have taken more musician photos, but at the same time I wouldn’t have gotten some of the …
So Far I’ve sold photos at three Farmers Markets and attended another one. I’ve never seen the amount of people at them as compared to during the Folk Festival. I’m sure the vendors (including myself) did well. The first man was smoking a cigarette between songs on the corner of Park and Main Streets, in …
