To make you smile.   

I received a nice email on Thursday.  An artist I know in Billings notified me that she had used one of my mountain lion photos as a model for a black and white painting for a recent show.  It sold quickly, and she is going to make a few prints to sell.  Attached is what she sent to me.

Well, the crowd at the art auction and there were some very good photographs.  I had set a minimum bid of $400 on mine, they could not get that much, so I brought it home.  That is ok, as my 2-year average is still reasonable after the one sold for so much last year.

Hope things are going better for you.  At least you got to play with some wonderful puppies, as well as, your own.

I am going to attach a few barrel racing photos that I took last weekend. I don't feel right about just posting on the internet, but I thought you might enjoy seeing how athletic the horses are, and the facial expressions of the riders.

Mrs.Aire,

Cough up the Ryan photo of the day today or I will pout.

I will remove the profile now.  The picture was sent to me by a friend.  I had no idea .

I am in Kalispell, MT at the Triple D Game Farm.  I photographed the bear this morning, and the workshop will photograph mountain lions and wolves tomorrow.  We will photograph three different babies on Saturday.  I leave Sunday and will probably try to photograph animals at the National Bison Range located north of Missoula, MT.

You could always contact the builder I've used in the past.  He is a talented builder and a really nice guy.  Just give him your needs and measurements, as well as, likes and dislikes and see what he has to offer.  You can even tell him Marshall Haferkamp from Montana suggested you contact him.

Here may be one of the best character photos I've ever taken.  She is a long time artist in the Quick Draw and does very nice work.  She was working the crowd trying to get a better price when I snapped this photo. Do you like it?

Here is one of my wife taken last year in Rocky Mountain National Park.  I'll send it to you, but I am not going to post it on the web.

I did not want you to get the wrong idea about the folks in Oregon.  I knew the older Hammond, and probably saw his son at times.  They were the one arrested for the fires, but they quickly distanced themselves from the 'wild bunch' from Nevada.  The Bundys from Nevada and cohorts have been running wild and protesting, ever since the BLM backed off and let their father continue running cattle illegally in Nevada.  They are the ones that have taken over the building on the Malheur Wildlife Refuge.

Thought you might be interested to know that I sent one of my class mates from high school the same print that I sent you.  She lives in Santa Fe and lost her sister over the holidays.  I'll be interested to see how she mats and frames the photo.  I think she was surprised that the slot canyons are so close to Santa Fe.

Hope you have a nice holiday.  It has been snowing here most of the day.

Here you go.  Hope you have a Great Holiday and enjoy your family gathering.  Your trip to deliver coats to the homeless was a wonderful gesture.

We did OK at the local juried art show.  They allowed entrants from over the USA, but I am not sure of foreign entrants.  We had 5 out of 6 selected for the show. The first three are mine and the last two are Gwen's.

I hope this makes you smile.  Hope you are feeling better. I am not posting this on the forum, But I thought you might enjoy seeing one of the twins and her mother with the Corgis.  I'll write more later and tell you about the mother 'our unofficially adopted grand daughter'.

Hi,

I sure hope you feel better soon.  It really concerns me that you have been sick for so long a period of time.  I had pneumonia several times as a child, but so far have avoided it as an adult.  I am so old now, that they do not recommend any more pneumonia shots.

Take care and get well soon.
