Inspired ~ Montana Fine Art & Editorial Photography

Recently I had the wonderful assignment of photographing and meeting a local inspiration for Arthritis Health Monitor magazine. Kathie Lapcevic is a farmer, teacher, and writer and recently lost 111 lbs. to ease her symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis. It was a joy photographing her as you can see here in my three favorites from our shoot.

It was a great opportunity but a sad occasion when I was asked to photograph my first assignment for The New York Times of the events surrounding the recent tragic shooting in Missoula, Montana. Below are some selects of the memorial and candlelight vigil for German exchange student, Diren Dede, who was shot and killed by his neighbor, Markus Kaarma.
