Home for the Winter

A few years ago, during my time as a carpenter, I was at a job site in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana. Generally the camera stays home because I don't want it to get dirty or crushed and I am getting paid to bang nails not shoot photos. Fortunately, I had grabbed my camera that morning.

In this shot a rancher brings home his herd from the summer grazing grounds high in mountains and foothills surrounding the valley. This land is usually leased from the forest service in 100 years terms.

This shot is part of a book I am working on comparing the landscape of Montana with the cityscape of New York City. I am currently shopping for a publisher so I'll keep you posted on updates.
