Grateful to be celebrating 20 years in business as a landscape photographer!
Hard to believe that is has been 20 years since I captured this "Washboards" image in 2003 that changed my life and helped turn my hobby into a fulfilling and thriving business.
With the help and support of so many of my friends, family and patrons over the years, along with countless time putting in the work to make it happen, I am very grateful.
Thank you for your continued support!
All the best,
Craig

I recently became aware of your photography and ordered your first book of panoramas, which I am eagerly awaiting. I do not know if the “Washboards” is in your first or second book, but I think it is a fabulous photograph and an inspiration for me to take panoramas in New England. Thank you

While I’m not in any way trying to lavish you with compliments, I do have to say that you have an uncanny ability to capture the mystique of Montana’s “Big Sky Country”, its simplicity and complexity; its stunning grandeur and its uncompromising seasons. I thoroughly enjoy your photos.
Thank you for sharing your passion with all of us!

Congratulations on 20 years!” – Kori G., Native Montanan and lover of mountains and art

New work, taking a social break and launching a new business...
July 02, 2025

New Projects:
"Calving Season - Flint Creek" Philipsburg 2017
New Projects:
I closed my shop and gallery back in 2016, both to save money to build a home studio and spend more time at home with my family. But this time not running the shop has luckily also given me time to pursue other endeavors.
In the fall of 2018, I took on a construction project in Philipsburg to rebuild an old cordwood structure that I had known about for years. I had met the previous owner David years ago while working for Montana FWP in Anaconda helping build an interpretive center at the Washoe fish hatchery in the summer of 1996. I had stopped into his shop "Montana Possibles" and was amazed by the home he was building next door. The seed was planted.
Fast forward 2017, and we were looking at a gallery space to purchase in Philipsburg that unfortunately did not come to fruition. Shortly following that deal falling through (congrats to Pat - Fish Eye Guy - who has since made it into a great gallery space!), I found out that Dave had passed, and his place down the street was up for sale. It was in very, very rough shape, unfinished, and barely salvageable. Luckily, I had just finished taking a week long cordwood building class with Rob Roy in upstate New York. My plan was to use this technique to build a new studio in my backyard at home, but life had other plans. With my wife's encouragement and blessing, I took the money I had saved to build the studio, and put it all down on Dave's place in Pburg, got a loan from the local bank, and got to work right away with the plans to turn it into a rental property / gallery.
Now after 7 years, much blood, sweat, tears, cash and countless hours working on the project, I am very happy to announce that it is "done" and the Sasquatch Sanctuary is now officially open to the public!
It is currently set up as a short term rental on VRBO or Airbnb, and I am and am still slowly working on it while adding more installations and artwork for all to enjoy. So far this spring, the feedback has been great from everyone who has stayed.... Be sure to check it out if you are needing a little getaway!

I must apologize:
This is my first emai and blog post l since Christmas, and I've been purposely ignoring all social media since then as well for a little mental break. These days, social media is still needed for business, but I was burnt out and honestly had become addicted to all of it as well. The break was very good me, and not sure how much I will get back to it in the future, but will continue to do the best I can!
Thank you for your continued support!
All the best,
Craig

Embracing the Beauty of a Cold, Snowy Winter: Skiing, Studio and Family Time
February 27, 2025
As winter takes a short respite with warm springlike temps and sunny days, it’s hard not to marvel at the incredible winter we had in Montana this year! Seems like it has been too long since we had a real one. This season has been nothing short of magical, crisp air and clean cold snow have painted the world in dull yet bright hues of white and silver, transforming everyday scenes into a brisk winter wonderland.
Took most of January to finish up Christmas orders, with lots of studio and family time. Work in the studio and on other construction projects (more info to come) were mixed in with a decent amount of skiing, and it has been just what the doctor ordered. More new work to be posted to the site this spring, and more new projects in the works. Thanks for all the support!

A gift from the past...New print release!
Was just going through some of my older files to get a large print made for a client of "Fairy Lake" from 2006. While digging through the files, I found a little Christmas present to myself....a hidden folder of some images I had completely forgot about! It included this panorama of one of my favorite places in the Northern Bridgers, the "Flathead Pass Ranger Station".
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!!!
