Winter in Big Montana

I overdosed on winter in Montana, taking in more snow and rural landscapes than I ever imagined. The photo to the left is a long exposure I took at night of my friend's house I was staying in. You can see every star out there, and they are up high enough that you can see the weather coming for miles.

My friends and I went skiing and we had the entire mountain to ourselves-- never had to wait in a lift line or worry about running into someone on a trail. I really regretted not bringing my camera up on the slopes, but I wasn't sure if I would eat snow and wind up smashing it to pieces.

Of course, it was not all wonderful-- the cold was brutal, dipping down to -4*F at night and hovering around 8*F during the day. Within minutes of going outside your face stings and your hands are numb. When I came in from shooting, my camera would fog up from the heat of the house. Both of the LCD screens and the lens would completely fog up, which worried me a little at first, until I rememberd that Canon cameras are tough as Carey French.

I hope you're all having an excellent holiday break, now I have to get back to packing!

Thanks!

Here it is...

Hopefully it works for everyone, and hopefully I can make it a cool page. Have a great break everyone and Alex have an especially awesome time in France!

Remember we meet Wednesdays at 9:15 next semester!

Later hommies, I'm going to France!

It's been a great semester for the club and I really enjoyed working with all of you. I wish we could have had more time for all of you to share your unique skills, but hopefully you will all be back next year and we'll have even more to talk about.
I intend to take a ridiculous number of photos in France and all of the other countries I visit in Europe, many of which you will see here or on my facebook. I'm also looking forward to see the photos all of you take while I'm away!

P.S. Please treat Jessica with the utmost disrespect so she can feel like I'm still there.
