I shot senior portraits of Butte High School senior Kyle Kankelborg and we found some great locations, including this junkyard near the Depot. It’s full of smashed cars or all colors and types. I’m hoping to get a macro lens in the future so I can get extreme closeups of the junk.
I obviously like stairs, I’ve probably taken and posted at least 20 photos of stairs in the past year and a half! Butte just has some old interesting stairs, and the light seems to always be neat on the stairs. The Maley Block is right next door to my studio, and the apartments are above …
I was on assignment with Silver Bow Property Management and had five units to photograph. I came to this house and was mesmerized by the beautifully decorated interior, amazing art and landscaped backyard.

Thanks to the Old Butte Historic Adventures for letting me tag along on the tour. I’m going to go to a few of the locations by myself here in a few days, such as the speakeasy and the Stephens Hotel, so I can get some photos without people in them. This photo is in the …
