The Pekin Noodle Parlor just might be the oldest Chinese restaurant in the nation. To learn more about its history, you’ll have to check out the article to be published in Montana Magazine later this year. I’ll keep you updated on the specific issue. Danny
The Hirbour Tower is really an amazing building inside. The staircase, which I posted earlier, is just gorgeous. This is a photo of the handrail, which is being stored on the second floor in a room. The second photo is of a senior I photographed with the hand rail. Her name is Mallory, and you …
This 1/2-hour breathing apparatus is on display at the World Museum of Mining, and was invented by Butte’s Dan Crowley. It was invented for use in the Butte underground mines after the Granite Mountain-Speculator Mine incident which killed many of miners. The equipment is in a glass case so I used my polarizing filter to …
lens baby’s plastic lens to capture this dream-like scene. The only thing done to the image was changing it to black and white and darkening the foreground and sky. The dream-like distortion is a result of the plastic lens and lens baby focus distortion. The photo is in Nevada on the way back from Vegas …

So yes, again, this is another reshoot. BUT this was taken with about 5 horizontal shots. So this photo could be printed pretty huge. And it’s not cropped. Hopefully I’m not boring people with re-shoots. I don’t feel very creative when I’m basically copying myself. But it’s for a project.
This photograph is of a funky, old, torn, worn yellow chair on an aqua/green porch. For some reason I really like old funky chairs. I think I should start collecting those old unwanted chairs, and use them in my photographs. Senior portraits, family portraits, engagement sessions, etc, could all use some creative old chairs. And …
I had the opportunity to photograph the ButteTiernanIrish Dancers School Feis today. I photographed formal individual shots in front of a background as well as action shots. It was a joy learning about the different dance steps and levels of difficulty in the steps. The dancer below is Kara Holm. Notice her curls bouncy while …
I photographed the Daugherty family today. We started outside at the park, worked our way to the train tracks near the Butte Depot (as seen), and ended with a studio session.
The Jewish Synagogue is such a beautiful building architecturally. I’ve never been inside of it, but I’ve heard it’s equally as impressive. This photo was shut just after the sun rose, creating great contrast. Lately I’m drawn to black-and-white in photographs. It makes images with drab colors look a million times better.
