I left Montana for Portland back in 1996. It took a year or so, but eventually Portland started to feel like home. As time went on, I started looking forward to getting back home to Portland after visits to Montana.
Now that I’ve been back in Montana for a couple of years, it’s starting to feel like home again. I just got back from 5 weeks in Portland, and though I miss the people who live there, it is good to be home again. I missed these highways and skies.
Daniel grew up in central and western Montana. Unsure of what he wanted to do with his life, he studied both graphic design and psychology in college. After a brief stint with Pizza Hut, he landed in Oregon.
He got his first camera, and his first Mac back in 1987, and dove into videography and editing in 1990. He started shooting portraits in 1997, and people continue to be his favorite photo subject. Since moving back to Montana in 2017, he's started exploring landscape, wildlife, and astrophotography.
He currently resides in central Montana with a German shepherd mix named Diego.
