I went on a little drive this evening in search of more potato cellars. I found quite a few on Larsen Farms in Hamer. I made a few photographs, but plan to head back because I ran out of daylight. Enjoy… or at least tolerate these images.

Summer term ended last week. I taught basic photography and color photography. The students did some nice work. Here are some of the highlights:

So, I’m still photographing potato cellars. I’ve spent quite a bit of time editing and arranging them lately. Included in these images are some reshoots of the same cellars to show the passage of time. I’m also including a triptych of a newer cellar, which seems to work well I think.

I’ve actually been out photographing (with black-and-white film even) a bit over the past couple of months. I made these images of recharge wells on the Teton River near Sugar City the other day. The light wasn’t ideal, so I went back the other day to rephotograph them. There are now big bold No Trespassing signs posted on the entry road, so I guess these will have to do.

So,
We finally got a computer and internet service at home again. I’ve also slowed down (a little bit anyway) on fishing. So, how is everybody? Anyway, here are a few images of what else?….. fish. I caught these fish over the last few days on the Teton River.
