Full review below, also in print and online:
By Adam Brown, "Outside Bozeman" Summer 2022
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but with Craig Hergert’s collection of photos in Montana Panoramic: Transparent in the Backlight (Great Wide Open Publishing, $85) only a few are necessary—“stunning,” “encompassing,” and “alive” are some that come to mind. These photos, combined with Shann Ray’s elegant narrative expression, show Montana in a way that we can all relate to, as if we are really there. Together, Craig and Shann take you across the Big Sky state, corner to corner, telling the story of Montana using brilliant photography and thought-provoking stories and poems. Taste the dust from the dirt roads in the Highwood Mountains, feel the warm steam of the Grand Prismatic in Yellowstone, smell the sun-baked wheat growing in Plentywood, and hear the crowd roar as a cowboy holds tight to a bucking bronc. The shots of Bozeman and familiar mountain ranges evoke feelings of homeyness, while new vantages summon wonder and an inspiration to discover what the reader has not yet seen. This book is a great way to take the epic expanses of Montana home, right to your living room, for you to relive with the turn of a page.

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!!!
