Photography And Half-Thoughts By Mitchell Hegman

...because some of it is pretty and some of it is not.

1,000,000

I read in our paper that the state of Montana recently reached a population of one-million people.  So, first thing I ask myself is: “Do we really need more zeros in Montana?”  And then I think back on all those times when, proudly, I would tell someone unfamiliar with Montana that we are all about the open spaces and sky out here, that we did not even have a million people in our big ol’ state.
No more of that.
I must admit, a million people feels like a funeral to me.
