Flora along the “M” Trail.
Head out any direction from your home doorstep and you are bound to come across one of the hundreds of abundant spring wildflowers that are currently blooming in full force across our local mountain sides and valleys. I decided to spend some time hiking along the “M” Trail this past week to get a closer look at all the natural color splashed across the Montana scenery.

I recently learned that a couple of photographs I made for the Bozeman Daily Chronicle last year were recognized by the Society of Professional Journalists and the Montana Newspaper Association. I won first place Best Sports Photo by the Society of Professional Journalists for a photo I made of a MSU Heptathlete doing the high jump in the NCAA Indoor Track Finals and another first place from the Montana Newspaper Association for Best Feature Photo which was of a young mother tending to her kids in the early morning before work. The full story about their family can be found here. As a personal project I was pretty stoked that one below got the nod from my professional peers. As a whole my employer the Bozeman Daily Chronicle won numerous awards including best newspaper in the state. The full article is posted here. Congrats to my fellow reporters, editors and designers on a great year of public service. My winning images are below. Thanks for looking, -M
