Today’s photo was a tough one to choose because I am really not very happy with any of the photos I made. A big part of the reason I am doing this project is to help me get better at seeing the photographic opportunities around me and making the most of them. Unfortunately for me, […]

Grateful 365 Day Seventeen
As I have mentioned in past posts, most of Montana east of the Rocky Mountains has received record-breaking, river-flooding rain, which has kept us inside for the better part of the last 3 weeks. With very little break in the rain, we are very thankful to see the sun from time to time and when […]
Grateful 365 Day Sixteen
Day 16’s photo(s) sort of stretch the rules I put in place for myself in that it is 5 separate pictures instead of just one and I took longer than 15 minutes putting it together. There was really no way to choose just one photo from the “session” yesterday so I don’t mind coloring outside […]
Grateful 365 Day Fifteen
Day 15’s photo came at the end of a whole lot of photos I was taking of Lilly, Gannon, and Emma putting on a puppet show. Lilly was growing weary of smiling and decided that this face best described how she felt about continuing to be my subject. Lilly and I not only share many […]
Grateful 365 Day Fourteen
This has been one of the wettest springs I can remember so when the rain finally stopped and the sun came out my subject was clear. After not seeing the sun for so many days I am grateful that it finally broke through. ISO 400, 40mm, f/11, 1/3200 sec
Grateful 365 Day Thirteen
My grateful photo today was taken with my cell phone while I was out with my boys letting Mom get some much needed rest. We made it a point to visit both Army/Navy stores in Billings and check out all the great gear they have. Connor, my oldest son, was pretty keen on trying on […]
Grateful 365 Day Twelve
The kids’ school year is winding down and Mrs. Ferguson and Mrs. Sitte had t-shirts made for all the school kids to wear during the last few days of school. I figured it would be a great opportunity to get some photos of the students in their new shirts. My project photo from today is […]
Grateful 365 Day Eleven
After the events of Day 10 and my not having my DSLR I was thankful to be able to get more creative with my photo for today. The idea for this shot came to me during my drive to work this morning but I had yet to decide upon the specific subject. While I was […]
Grateful 365 Day Ten
This is way late for yesterday, but I ran into some technical difficulties that will be explained later. I took my two oldest kids, Connor and Emma, to a “Christian” rock concert in Billings featuring Disciple, Kutless and News Boys at the Shrine Auditorium. Overall it was a great concert and we all had a […]
Grateful 365 Day Nine
I was determined to get outside and make a photo for today so I took some time during my lunch hour to go to one of my favorite parks, Riverfront Park, just across Interstate 90 from my house. Riverfront is home to many hundreds of birds and during this time of the year one can […]
