Carmello, pictured below is a field worker in Picabo, Idaho. This image is part of an ongoing series of mine focused on Idaho people who are not likely to have a lens pointed at them...

A Picabo Face
Effi, pictured below is a face you may see should you frequent Picabo, Idaho. She's usually wearing a smile and more often than not is invisible. She at first didn't want me taking this image of her. I sat with her at a table in a store in Picabo, round barrel chairs and ranch employees stopping by for lunch after a 5:30 am start, and said, "no, Effi I'll let you approve anything I take and they are your images." After taking a few shots of her I showed them to her and I became aware that she was in a bit of awe. The images are flawed technically and far from perfect but she didn't notice that stuff. She didn't notice the flaws she thought before hand were there. I don't think she had ever had an image taken of her as an adult. She was happy.
A Challis, Idaho Face
Fluff Wood, pictured is a Challis Idaho BBQ phenom. He is as friendly as his smile and his BBQ is exquisite in the great way a casual, no-frills, simply prepared BBQ can be. Think Traeger smokers on a trailer with everything and more you would want... OK, and ribs!
The other morning I drove in the west entrance to the Nature Conservancy and encountered a herd of elk that was pretty strong in numbers. They kicked up a bit of dust and were back-lit and agitated. Sandhill Cranes flew low dizzying circles over alfalfa and recently cut barley and sometimes landed deftly like long-winged bombers on a short and final. The National News no longer played stories of the Beaver Creek Fire but the smoke had left for the most part and the crowds had mainly left in a frenetic race to escape and left Silver Creek as it often is on a late August morning.
