I was just thinking of Wild West Photos again this January when I received an email from Brian.  So I buckled down for a week or two and went through every image I had, had the slides and negatives scanned onto CD’s and I’m happy to say, I am now up and running selling my Images of the West as stock imagery with Wild West Photos!

I am proud to be in such good company as one of less than 30 featured photographers.  With over 200 images online, my stock photography runs the gamut including images in such categories as agriculture, black & white, ghost towns, landscapes, Wild West, wildflowers, wildlife, Yellowstone and energy.   In submitting my work to Wild West Photos, I realized a part of me misses shooting the beautiful Montana West, it’s people and their lifestyle.  It’s been years since I photographed a branding, a rodeo or a wildflower for that matter.  Of course, I have a good excuse in that the demand for my portrait photography took over and I have loved every moment photographing babies, children and families, but perhaps there is a balance to be found between the two…  Perhaps it’s time to rediscover the Wild West…
