My Dogs

Most of the photos I shoot back home are of my dogs, which are fairly photogenic if I do say so myself.

Andrew, just after the race

My friend and roommate Andrew competed in a bike race last weekend here in Bozeman. I showed up with my camera and was not quite sure what to expect. Andrew placed 3rd, and I walked away with a few photos I was happy with.

Waegwan and Daegu

After Seoul, Fiona and I headed south to Daegu, another massive city in the middle of the country. Nearby Daegu is Waegwan where my friend Daniel and his wife Megan live. Waegwan was a nice change of pace from the hustle and bustle of Seoul.

Seoul

Seoul was the first stop on the trip and one of my favorites. The idea of seeing the whole city can be somewhat overwhelming, so Fiona and I would start the day by picking a random direction and start walking. Getting lost was never an issue either, due to the frequency at which we would come upon a subway stop.

We named this cat "Mr.Happy". Seemed as if the cardboard box was his home.

The guy on the bike was well aware that I was taking his photo. So much for being sneaky.

These cats lived on the rooftop of the building underneath the window of our room. We encountered lots of street cats in Asia

On our first day exploring the city, we wandered downtown and found a massive temple, Gyeongbokgung. We paid a small entrance fee and wandered around the massive grounds for hours.

Nara, Japan

While staying in Kyoto, Fiona and I took a day trip to Nara with my friend Katie who was in the country for school. Nara is famous for it's tame deer. They are all over the city and can be pretty surly, especially if deer cookies are involved.

Sick Cat Park

Kyoto is full of ancient temples (it used to be the capital of Japan) and rich history. We had been walking around all day sightseeing when we decided to get some ice cream and chill in a park, which happened to be full of sick cats. There were tons of them and each one was lethargic and did not seem too healthy, which made them perfect models for my camera.

Ruffians

Local street toughs from Waegwan, South Korea.

Street Cat

Similar to my time in Europe, I have been collecting quite a few photos of street cats. Most of them are timid, and some are quite docile. I spotted this guy near the train station in Busan, South Korea. I can only imagine that his whole life has been on the streets. He was cautious of everyone, and slowly walked ahead of me with a limp. I can't help but wonder what stories this creature would tell.

Catalina

Catalina belongs to Joey, who was our host in Las Vegas. It took her a while to warm up to us, but when she did she was happy to pose for a photograph.

Great Grey Owl

Went home to Missoula the other day and saw this thing chilling on the wire. The whole neighborhood was out with cell phone cameras at the ready.

I have been meaning to scan some film...

... and thankfully Beebzor let me borrow his scanner. Thank you Brian!

"Let me out"


This is Gaston. Not really sure why, but I have hundreds of photos of this cat.


This is Brad Peers. He is one of my good friends from High School. Brad has a twin named Steven. Watching the two of them bicker and argue is one of the funniest things ever.


This is Sam. He comes into the coffee shop in Belgrade where I work, and is one of the nicest people I have ever met. Sam has a unique story about his life, and is always down to talk to you and tell you some things you may have never heard before.

Jumping Spider

I noticed this spider hanging out on my windowsill and decided to get a few photos of it with a new macro lens.

Cusco

This is my dog, Cusco. Her absolute favorite activity is playing with sticks.

Spike

This is my roomate's cat, Spike. He brought this rabbit to the porch, played with it for a bit, then started to devour it. I have never seen a cat kill such a large animal, let alone eat it.
