Got the call last week from a 212 area code, offering a little flashback to my recent East Coast escapades. Picked it up to find a photo assignment for the New York Times waiting on the other end of the line, so I packed the bags and headed up to Helena, Montana’s capital, the next morning for an assignment.
The job was to photograph poet Tyler Knott Gregson for an upcoming article. Staged portraits are by no means my favorite thing—I love capturing portraits of people when they are actively engaged in something else and not thinking about the camera.
This was not one of those days.
That said, Tyler was fantastic to work with, and had already pre-scouted a location for the shoot. We set up, shot in a couple settings, and I was back in Bozeman by the late afternoon to file images. Still in awe at the digital world we live in.
Thanks to the Times for the assignment, Tyler for putting up with me, and Montana for providing a pretty awesome drive to work.
