Surprising Photo Products and Tips

From time to time I will have an exhibit and a workshop in the shooting space. I will keep you posted.
Eye Protection
In this issue my product recommendation is truly a Montana story. I wear glasses, too old for contacts. I once bought transitional glasses to protect my eyes from the sun, bad idea, couldn't read the LCD on my camera. Clip-ons were too expensive, I broke two pair. So what is a photographer to do? Well, I found my answer when I was picking up my chain saw for maintenance. I found Husqvarne, the makers of my chain saw, make awesome eye protection in different colors. They fit perfectly over my glasses and wrap around, I love them. The are only $10 dollars, I bought three pair.

 Dear Readers,
Welcome to the May Newsletter. April was a stellar month. It started off by finding a great tenant Frances, for the front of the Studio. Her store, "Frankie's Mercantile", a great place to shop and a great addition to Historic Downtown Missoula. Come on by or call 543-0898 for more information.
As you may have noticed, my portrait has changed. I am sporting my new $10 shades which I write about in the new "Products Section".
My Airstream photo was selected as the photo of the week by CalumetPhoto. A nice recognition of one of my visual obsessions, not to mention the additional 300 hits that day to my website.
Three of my photo books were selected, for Best Photography Books.
MAC on Campus selected four of my photographs to be used as examples for their launch of an educational site for photographers.
I had some fun photo shoots in April with the Wheeler Family and Uncle Sam. Some bookings came in for my Mother's Day Special, call for more info.

The Photographer's Almanac:
Edward S. Curtis:
1868-1952 A truly obsessed photographer who documented what was called "The North American Indian" wth a forward written by President Theodore Roosevelt." It was a series, 20 volumes of photographs of Native American life in the Northwest. The work was commissioned by JP Morgan and Curtis was paid $75,000 for the work in which would consume the rest of his life, over 40,000 images were taken.
As any great artist his work was controversial for being too staged and not authentic enough.
Which was partially true, but no can deny the power of his images, the lasting impact and the passion of his mission.
Back then photographs were taken with large heavy cameras, one sheet at time and sometime shot on glass and developed on location. It is an amazing body of work ,worth taking the time to look at and even collect.
