Chris. Wow.

Have a great experience in Butte.

Before I was born my Dad traveled to Butte and my understanding is that he really wanted to move West. He was an electrical engineer, educated at The University of Notre Dame, and worked at a company in New Jersey developing wire and cable. During WW Ii his designs were used by the U.S. Navy on battleships in the European Theatre. He was in Montana as a part of his job and visited copper mines while he was there.

May God forever Bless all humans and all of the innocent animals who have suffered and sacrificed in the course of their endeavors here on Earth.

The photographs are spectacular. Great subject.😊

I sure do wish that I could make it out to Yellowstone. I am not an artist but it sure seems like anyone could benefit from that experience.

Wishing you all of the best and thanks again for your beautiful work.

Sincerely,

Melissa

Those tin-types are pure magic. And, your image seems to be truly YOU, like you were born a century too late.
