Been a while

[bolden]

So far this year I have spent four months fly fishing through New Zealand, and then another month on the annual summer trip to Montana. These fishing trips along with recently moving to Boise have led me to be completely inactive on the site here. I used to post a lot of pictures from trips and I know people liked seeing my photos so I thought I would put up some new pictures from Montana this year.

Also, I just changed up my website and it has plenty of pictures that most of you haven't seen. Feel free to check out the site and let me know what you think. It is new so if there are any problems it would be great to know about them, so far the only thing that has been a problem is the slide show loading on the homepage.

Nice going man. Did you finish your college degree???? What brought ya to Montana -- besides the great outdoors experiences. Stay in touch Ben. I wish you the best behind the lens!
Cheers, Ken

Ken,

I finished the degree two years ago and I finished my teaching credential last December. I then went to NZ for four months as a college is over celebration, I will definitely go back in a few years though. The annual Montana trip during the summer started back in 2004 when my brother and I fished for three weeks in Montana, and I have gone back with my dad every year since.

Moving to Boise was a decision based on being closer to fishing but not actually living in Montana. Having grown up in Sacramento I would rather not deal with the bone chilling cold of Montana, plus Boise has three great dry fly rivers within 2 hours.

Ben:
Welcome back. Have always enjoyed your shots. A lot of what you see nowadays
has been "photo-shopped." You can't obtain pictures like your's with an editing
program. You have a real talent and understanding of your craft.

Say hey Ben,
Congrats on the teaching credential. Out-stan-ding! The website upgrades are beautiful.
Cheers, Ken
