The Winding Water

The aesthetic curves of water cutting through the landscape are always an interesting subject. Water is constantly changing the Montana landscape. Each year the high water cuts out new paths, rearranging trees, rocks, and nature in general. I look forward to visiting these scenes each year. Below is a shot I will visit many times a year. I hiked up the side of a hill to get this shot. The high angle really emphasizes the line of the creek.

Dining in Paradise Valley

I’m currently showing 10 fine art photographs at the Paradise Valley Grill, located in the heart of Paradise Valley, south of Livingston, MT. I consider the food at the grill to be the finest around. If you’re in the valley, stop by to check out the great food and some fine photography.

Mammoth Hot Springs in Winter

This shot was taken during a very cold morning in Mammoth Hot Springs, located in Yellowstone National Park. There’s a nice path along the upper terrace. The steam produces some very strong contrast, considering the sky is perfect blue and the ground has a thick pillow of fresh snow. This location during a winter sunrise is very inspiring.

If you’re looking for some fine dining in Livingston, Montana then stop by the Livingston Bar & Grille. Six of my landscape photos are being showcased in the dining room of this historic building. It’s a great atmosphere to have a fine meal and experience the best of downtown Livingston.

Big Sky Country

Jay — Mon, 22 Sep 2008 06:23:06 +0000

My recent photography theme pays tribute to my home Montana, the “Big Sky Country”. Montana’s landscape will often produce a formidable visual balance. Thoughtful pre-visualization of this powerful scenery has led me to apply minimalistic techniques, making the “big sky” dark, thus setting focus on the landscape and creating a dramatic mood. Composing a scene will take many passes, often reoccurring on weather changes. Most of these scenes will have clouds which nicely separate the “big sky” from the minimal landscape. The current collection of photographs from the “Big Sky Country” can be viewed in the gallery.
