Black and white photograph taken from inside a building, looking out through a window. Nearly silhouetted inside is a man with a Stetson, seen from the shoulders up, face tilted down and mostly obscured by the hat. In the window is a neon “OPEN” sign, and past it, outside, is a paved road, a small house, large rolling hills, and a sunny sky with some clouds.
To this day I severely regret not getting this shot on film. Instead, I’m stuck with an iPhone photo.

Somebody had a moment when they realized that this thing wasn't going any further.

Every few years someone says the Western is back.
But the genre never really left.
The Western returns whenever land, ownership, and power start feeling unsettled again.

Gratitude for simple things that center me in the moments of my life. Fresh air in the morning, working with friends, relief in a hot spring, and a good night’s sleep.
Best of all - the memories I get to keep.

Photos: From 2010. New Mexico near Gila National Forest.
A rusted industrial mine headframe towers against a stormy grey sky in Butte, Montana. Bold orange lettering reads “Mile High” on the weathered corrugated metal structure, with partially visible “Mile Deep” text along the base.
A vast open-pit copper mine reveals dramatic horizontal bands of rust red, ochre, grey, and tan earth carved into terraced layers. A forested mountain ridge rises in the background beneath an overcast sky.
A mine headframe and a collapsed wooden outbuilding seen through a chain-link security fence in Butte, Montana. A semi truck passes on a dirt road below, with mountain ranges stretching across the horizon behind
A dramatic low-angle view looking up at an abandoned mine headframe in Butte, Montana. The skeletal black steel lattice tower rises against a brooding storm sky, with peeling white corrugated metal buildings below bearing faded orange “Mile High” signage.
Butte, Montana. Once the richest hill on earth. Thousands of men descended a mile into the ground every day so that America could have its copper. Many never came back up.
