Many people consider a drive-by shooting from a
highway in Vietnam one of my best photographs.
Allow me to explain.
A drive by shooting takes place when you hang your
camera outside the window of a moving vehicle and take a snapshot. The photograph in Vietnam is of a bicycle
leaning against a door. I saw the
picture coming at me and had to time everything just right to capture the image
as we sped past.
Yesterday, I left my house as a bit before 5:00 in
the morning so I could drive to Missoula to teach a continuing education class. The sun crested the mountains just as I
reached the very top of the Continental Divide.
As I dropped down the other side, the clouds began to glow with muted
tints and the colors emerged full from the surrounding landscape.
Pretty, yes.
Just for fun, I took a couple of drive-by shootings
as I drove through the river and mountain countryside. I am posting one that caught first full light
on the Flint Creek Range.
