. One of my favorite images of Livingston, #Montana. Coincidentally, I am photographing a property from almost this exact spot next week. Almost the entire town is captured in this image. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #Weather #BlueSkyArtShow #photography #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome

Black-and-white panoramic view of a small mountain town beneath dramatic clouds and a rugged mountain range.

Absolutely. Been my motto for decades. It's more work sourcing the food, but worth it. Here's my two boys having dessert after supper.

. Woke up to a $90 deposit in my checking account from SSA, followed by a propaganda email from Medicare this morning. Right out of the fascist's playbook. 🤮

. In yet another extremely dry 1st nine months of the year, this is not an uncommon sight in #Montana. About 60% of the state is in some level of drought condition. #BlueSkyMonday #MountainMonday #EastCoastKin #Photography

A dirt road stretches through a vast sagebrush desert toward distant mountains beneath dramatic, cloud-filled blue skies.

. Pardon my absence this week. A dear friend is visiting from the other side of the country and I am the official tour guide! Today was Butte #Montana. (only brought my cell phone!) #ECK #BlueSkyMonday

. For #WorshipWednesday (yes, I made that up!), I present St. John The Evangelist Church built in 1880 in Boulder, #Montana. Boulder is an interesting town of about 1200 residents with a long history in the area. #EastCoastKin #ClassicMono #monochrome #blackandwhitephotography

. The last image I captured in 2022. Taken on the morning of 12/31/22, the fog rising off the Missouri River at about 8:00 AM. A personal favorite. #EastCoastKin #Montana #photography #WinterIsComing

Foggy winter landscape with snow patches, barren trees, and a mist-covered mountain ridge under a cloudy sky.

. For whatever reason, this is my favorite image from yesterday's windless kite festival. This couple sat there for at least the entire two hours that I was there, just patiently waiting for the wind to pick up so they could launch their kite. #EastCoastKin #Montana #Photography

Two people sit in folding chairs in a grassy field with a colorful kite on the ground nearby.

. I went to a kite festival today sort of near home, but sadly, there was hardly any wind so the cool kites were grounded. Still felt good to get out with the cameras. #EastCoastKin #Photography #Montana

Two colorful kites with Native American and abstract art designs lie on dry grass in a hilly, open landscape with scattered people in the background.

. Bones & Beer pt. 2 These are poached animals, btw. Our landfill, as well as garbage services gladly take carcasses in season. But when you are a poacher... Also, this spreads Chronic Wasting Disease. Did I mention I dislike people? #Montana #ECK #photography #ClassicMono #Monochrome.

. The perfect juxtaposition of a dumped deer carcass along with an empty Coors 12-pack carton. People are fucking horrific. And you can quote me on that. Don't let me hike with a camera. #Montana #photography #ClassicMono #blackandwhitephotography #monochrome

Black and white image of a deer skeleton lying on grass, highlighting the contrast between the bones and the natural surroundings. An empty Coors 12-pack box lays to the right of the deer's skelaton.

. Most bison photos you'll see depict the bison on wide open vistas. For whatever reason, this guy climbed up to where I was lunching, causing me to scamper behind my truck. Another favorite bison image of mine. #Stunday #ECK #photography #NPS #YNP #wildlife #EastCoastKin

. Somehow, the Wienermobile made it to my little town today and I had to go see it. The first one I ever saw was in 1968! Nice to see folks still having fun. And I enjoyed myself as well! #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana #OscarMeyer #Wienermobile

. A first for me! Giant Leopard Moth, strictly nocturnal, but this one was snoozing on my porch this morning. Adults only live 2-3 weeks! I assume this is a female by the size (I read way too much about them). I thought it quite cool looking! #EastCoastKin #photography #bugs #moth

I used to live just south of Livingston, #Montana. Now I'm about 75 minutes west, but I still return to the small businesses that hold this town together. A haircut there tomorrow as a matter of fact! I hope y'all are doing well! #EastCoastKin #photography #ClassicMono #monochrome

. Happy #Stunday! I always liked this shot. Way too late in the evening but somehow this last bit of light managed to pull off the faintest of double rainbows. I remember running into my house like a nut to get my camera! #EastCoastKin #photography #Montana
