Cruised out to my city’s namesake tonight to wedge myself in between the wedding and fashion photographers for a few landscape shots. The crazy landscape and nice light make it a natural location for a certain style of photo, but I can’t help but feel bad for the models and soon-to-be-newlyweds who have to spend time out there. It smells a bit like you’re at the beach… in hell. The salt flats are so dry (and sulfuric) that if you accidentally kick up a bit of the surface, it sounds like glass shattering. Not exactly inviting.

Lots to see around Flathead Lake, not least of which are cute kids picking cherries and gorgeous sunsets.

I’ve been looking for a few new lenses lately, and a friend is letting me test drive a few before I decide how much money I can divert from bicycle parts. Here’s a few frames from goofing around this afternoon.
