Recently I had the pleasure of going on assignment for Cyclist magazine to photograph Tyler Hamilton for a feature the magazine was doing on him for their summer issue, which is on news stands now. Tyler Hamilton was one of the whistleblowers who helped to reveal cycling's doping scandal — including doping by Lance Armstrong, as well as his own use during his own racing career. Tyler detailed all of that in his autobiography (co-written with Daniel Coyle), The Secret Race: Inside the Hidden World of the Tour de France. (It went on to become a New York Times bestseller.) We fit in our shoot during Tyler's son's nap time, and he was just ...
On assignment for Politico :: Montana photojournalist
Way back in July I was hired by Politico, a well known political news magazine (it has both an online and printed presence), to exercise my Montana photojournalist background, and make images for them for an upcoming article they were working on about Montana's newly designated 2nd congressional district (and the seat it opens up).

So, here you go - the magazine has gone to print and the Missoula Valley Lifestyle Magazine ...
Author James Lee Burke and his Montana Ranch :: Reportage Photo Assignment for RÉA Agency in Paris, France
A couple weeks ago, I received a message from Agence RÉA in Paris, France, asking me if I'd be interested in an assignment photographing James Lee Burke and his Montana ranch for the French magazine, Le Point. Oh my, twist my arm, YES! So off I went on a foggy, damp Montana Valentine's Day to hang out with Jim, listen to his incredible stories, and even get to meet his four sweet horses. I walked up to the door of his ranch, and he and his wife, Pearl, greeted me with smiles and a warm welcome and offers of tea. We sat down at his kitchen nook and spoke while we both munched on chocolate covered almonds. It didn't take long for Jim to ...
