Spring skiing and acrylic prints
Just returned from a warm spring break vacation with my wife and kids, and am back in the studio working on website updates and processing a few images from this winter. Did not shoot too much new work this past year, instead focusing on processing and editing previous years work to publish in the coming year. Currently working on producing new acrylic and metal prints for a few clients, and am loving the sharpness and clarity that comes from this type of print production!
Just before heading south, my oldest son Carl and I went for a hike up the Ridge at Bridger Bowl, explored a bit on Schlasman's with a beautiful run on Pat's, then took him over to Hidden Gully down to the Apron. It was his first time up with me on the top since he started skiing there at 3 years old, and I couldn't have been happier having him as my ski partner...it had been a long time coming.

“Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight”
Craig W. Hergert. Essays by Shann Ray.
Few images capture the grandeur of Mon-
tana—big sky, big land, big mountains, big
everything—as well as Bozeman photographer
Craig Hergert’s panoramic photographs. In
his newest coffee-table book, Hergert takes
viewers on a journey to 26 areas from Glacier
National Park to Ekalaka. We almost don’t
want to recommend this stunning photogra-
phy collection, because anyone who sees it
will want to immediately move to Montana.

Canary Springs under the Northern Lights - Aurora Borealis - Yellowstone National Park
I had been keeping an eye out on the Aurora Borealis activity in the area for the last couple weeks, trying to find a night I could skirt my time commitments at home and head out to see what I could find. Finally, I had an opportunity to sneak out for an all nighter and loaded up the truck to hit the road. Had a few locations picked out in my mind in the northern Bridger Range, along the Gallatin River or north of Livingston. Instead, I opted last minute to head south to Yellowstone National Park, a place I now mostly avoid unless I am able to get off the road and hike in the back country.
There was a little light on the horizon from 10pm to 2 am, but nothing to write home about. I scoped out a couple spots, and crawled in the truck to take a little nap. I bolted up after the quick snooze, afraid I had slept too long, looked at my clock and it read 3:33am. Figured it was the perfect sign to head out again.
The fall rutting elk screamed in the distance as I cued up the headlamp and fastened the bear spray to the belt. Made my way down to Canary spring to set up, and was humbled to start watching the show. The Milky Way, the falling stars, the slight dancing of the pinks, greens and purples, the gurgling of the bubbling hot water, the stomping hooves and bugling in the distance. I had found the right place and the right time for what was needed for the photos, and for my soul.
