Mel The Mountain Man
Wednesday, September 30, 2009

What comes to mind when you hear the phrase Mountain Man? Someone who lives on the land and is well versed in living organically I suppose. Mel is popular with artists from painters, to sculptors, to photographers. Mels presence in his element is his own. He has a few buffalo heads hanging around the cabin. He raves about his buffalo Chile he makes from 15 year old frozen meat. He also jokes that I should go running and he'll catch me with a lasso. Im not 5 years old don't think that would be fun :)

I like them all too...I thought I liked the second one the best...but when I looked again...I decided I like them all equally for different reasons.

Great work interesting guy.

Beautiful images - I especially like the B/W. I just have one suggestion -- the line between the blur and sharpness of the image is very drastic - my eye actually goes right too it and it such a strong image you don't want that to happen. In my opinion, I think the image would work better with a gradual blurring effect (again that's just my opinion).

He must have been a fun character to shoot.
