Grandma Keller's window
So the story goes.... Grandma Keller lived in this home in North Dakota until the mid 1970's when she passed away. The home was sold at auction, however, never relocated nor reoccupied making it truly "Grandma Keller's window". The curtains and pealing paint really appeal to me in this image. I took this photo in November of 2006.

Idaho : Views throughout Idaho

Tetons : Magestic mountain views

"There can be nothing in the world more beautiful than the Yosemite, the groves of the giant sequoias and redwoods, the Canyon of the Colorado, the Canyon of the Yellowstone, the Three Tetons; and our people should see to it that they are preserved for their children and their children's children forever, with their majestic beauty all unmarred." -Theodore Roosevelt

Yellowstone : There's nothing else that compares to the unique beauty found in Yellowstone National Park.

Signs : Sometimes we miss the things in plain sight.

Letters : Searching for letters began as a project my friend, K., introduced me to. I found that it offers me the opportunity to practice my photography skills and encourages me to "see" things from a different perspective. Once you start looking for letters, you can't help but to continue to see them, even in the most ordinary places.

Good old shots : These are scans of original 35mm photos. Oldies, but still nice to see after all these years.

"A photograph is usually looked at - seldom looked into." ~Ansel Adams
