I took this image of Carmello, a Picabo, Idaho farm worker last fall near Silver Creek.

Picabo, Idaho Field Worker
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...

Amy Lou's. Mackay, Idaho.
"Can I take your portrait?" I asked Amy Lou a few mornings ago at her restaurant in Mackay, Amy Lou's.
"It won't be the first time," she responded with a bit of a smile. Amy Lou is sassy to say the least. But she really is a warm hearted person who both takes your order and cooks your breakfast. No need to order your eggs scrambled or sunny-side-up as you'll get your eggs exactly the way she cooks them.

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.
