Many people helped to make this country what it is but did not live to see it become so great. Thank you to all who laid down their lives to secure our freedom.
Memorial Day
In Honor of Memorial Day
Many people have helped make this country what it is today. Today we honor those that did not live to see it become so great. Thank you to all who have helped secure our freedom.
Memorial Day
Today is a very important day. Today we stop and give thanks to all those that served this country and fought for the freedom that we enjoy every day. It is not just a holiday that gets us out of work. It’s a day that truly deserves our gratitude even if it is just for a moment. Stop and say thanks.
It Only Takes One Image
It’s really easy to feel overwhelmed in photography when it comes to the need of having lots of photos. The more time you spend in the business the more you realize that you need images for so many little things and it sucks when you just don’t have them. So what do you do? You go out in the field and take a chance to see if you can find that image to fill those gaps in your files and often time you come up short. That’s the reality of this game. But that’s when you have to tell yourself, “I only need one good image.” One image that makes you smile.
I was at the eighth annual memorial day parade here in Bozeman and went there with no expectations, just a camera in hand. I’ve photographed it in the past with some results but nothing wow and again I didn’t get a wow shot. But I found one that made me smile. This little kid was waving at everyone that went by and everyone kept waving at him. It was just kinda cute and kinda fun.
That’s what you gotta do though. Keep going out, keep looking for that one shot and come back with one that makes you think it was all worthwhile.

We Thank You
We never forget those that have given everything so the rest of us can have freedom.
Memorial Day 2018
In Honor of Memorial Day
Happy Memorial Day! Today is a very special today in which we honor those that have fallen protecting the freedoms that we enjoy everyday. If you see a veteran today, or any day, be sure to stop and say thank you.
More Then Just a Holiday
Memorial Day isn’t just a holiday, there is an important reason why schools, banks, mail delivery and government offices are closed. It started after the Civil War and was officially established in 1971. Memorial Day is when we stop for a day and give thanks to those that gave their life to protect this country. It’s easy to forget when you have a three day weekend, that’s why I’m writing this now. When Monday rolls around remember why you get that day off.
Happy Memorial Day
Today is a very important day in this country and it certainly is one that deserves everybody’s respect. Today isn’t just a holiday, it’s the day where we honor all those that fought for this country. This morning I was fortunate to be able to go to the Memorial Day Parade here in town and photograph some of those in attendance.

Say Thanks This Weekend
Last year I made sure to go to the Memorial Day Parade here in town, sponsored by the American Legion. It was the first Bozeman parade I had gone to and they really did a nice job. This Monday is Memorial Day and there will again be a parade this year. I urge everyone this weekend that they take some time and say thanks. Memorial Day isn’t just a holiday, it’s a celebration to honor all those that protect this country.
Bozeman’s Memorial Day Parade
I found out just a few days ago, right after I got back from Michigan, that Bozeman was having their sixth annual Memorial Day Parade. It’s not something that I previously knew about but probably should have, so it seemed like the perfect thing to do yesterday morning. Now I had never been to any of the parades in Bozeman before so I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I grabbed the D4 and 24-70 f/2.8 and slung it around my shoulder for the parade. I wasn’t quite sure what would make the best background but the show center was at the court house so that seemed like the best spot.
After the parade concluded there was another ceremony at the Vietnam Memorial Wall. It’s amazing the things you learn about but I actually didn’t about this wall before I went yesterday. It just shows even in your home town there’s always something else to discover. Well it was a very well done ceremony honoring all vets from Bozeman.
