It was another year at the community center’s Egg Extravaganza!  Everyone is a winner because the eggs are so easy to find, but Anika always has a great time. 

Jason has survived his 5th sinus surgery. It’s been two weeks and he’s doing great. He’s just a bit busy catching up on work. So I wanted to put up a quick post to say, “It’s Live.” The next incarnation of Jason’s website is now live. I hope it will show-case his talent well. I hope it’s easy to navigate. Let us know if you find bugs. We are still working out the kinks.

While in Basin Montana last fall I stayed in The Stone House.  My host was the musician M. J. Williams.  This is a photo of her in her home which is right next door to the Stone House. 

I’ve been working on moving the Photo of the Day archives over into this PHP database.  It’s turning out to be a slow, and labour intensive process—but I plan to do it a little bit at a time.  You’ll notice already that there are several entrees all the way back from November of 2000.  That was when the Photo of the Day first started.  There were many hundreds of entrees since then, and eventually all of them will be searchable in the new PHP format. 

Summer (my wife and designer) have been working on a whole new web site with all new content.  I’ve also started transferring the archived Photos of the Day into the new blog format.  That is a project that is going to take quite some time as each entry needs to be moved individually.  In the mean time I thought it was high time to start blogging regularly again.  I did it for so many years, it’s amazing how easy it is to get out of the habit. 

I’ve been very busy these past months, so while the new site is coming together I’ll start posting some of the images I’ve captured during my course of work. 

Pictured above is Montana Artist Nan Parsons.  She was photographed in Basin, Montana (pop. 300) sitting in her home.  It is a cabin without electricity she built with friends over 30 years ago on the outskirts of town.  I spent about a week in Basin last fall.  Nan is one of the founders of the Montana Artist Refuge.
