TELL ME YOUR "WHY"! ..... ..... I'm currently reading the book "Start with Why" by @simonsinek. In moments when I less than motivated to go to work, I always remind myself why I became a pharmacist. The reasons are plentiful and I am able to pull myself out of my uninspired mood and give my work everything I have. ..... ..... But the WHY of life is a lot harder. Why do I take photos? Why do I write? Why do I hike even when I don't want to get up early? It's all too easy to become discouraged or hide, sit on the couch and fill my day with cleaning, organizing, writing, and blogging, instead of getting outside and doing the things I truly love. ..... ..... I hike because I hate the gym. I love the way it feels to be healthy, lose inches, and gain strength. I love feeling sore, being able to go farther without having to stop as much. I love connecting with the Earth. I love the listening to the sounds of nature, seeing the uniqueness and beauty of each river, tree, and rock. I love the clarity that comes with immersion. And most off all I love hiking because it's what I want my life to look like. ..... ..... I love photography because I love to share moments, memories, things that we will never get back. I love capturing raw and unfiltered emotions. ..... ..... I haven't quite mastered it yet but I want to tell a story with my photos; I want you to scroll then stop and go back because my photo contain so much emotion that you have to spend a little more time. I'm not quite 100% yet, whether it's my real why, the WHY, but I'm on a mission to fight like hell to get there. ..... ..... TELL ME: What is your passion and WHY do you do it? Why does it fuel your flame? #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #strapintofreedom #GOATworthy #BuiltForTheWild #OptOutside #borninthemountains #earnyourview #whyihike #hyalite #grottofalls
My alarm went off at 6. I rolled over, pressed the snooze button and, finally, got up 15 minutes later. I started with layers, 3 at first then decided better be safe than cold so I added another. 4 layers, cup of coffee and a camera in hand, I headed towards the mountain. ..... ..... In the car I danced and sang with the radio. I parked, relieved no one else was there, and I headed up the hill. A few minutes in I asked the universe, knowing all too well science cannot be begged, to hold of on letting the sun rise until I made it to the top. ..... ..... At the top, I realize how slow the sun was coming over the mountain so I sat and waited. I took photos and watched as the sun slowly rose hitting each tree, bush, and blade of grass. #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #strapintofreedom #teva #solohiking #montanamoment #GOATworthy #BuiltForTheWild #OptOutside #borninthemountains #earnyourview #whyihike #likeamountaingirl
There's always been something magical about looking inside buildings during the winter. Despite the snow, cold, and darkness people bundle up and leave the comfort of their homes to gather with friends. ❤ #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #redlodge #redlodgechristmasstroll #smalltownusa #bundledup #storefront #christmasstroll #montanamoment #nighttimephotography

I used to hate dust, loathe it in fact. As soon as the sun went down I would RUN from the car to the house and hide. It's the strangest fear, to hate a time of day, but it always gave me the creeps! I think it was the fear that night was coming - I've never been a fan of things lurking in the dark and coldness of it all. As soon as the sun goes down the cold sets in. ..... ..... But the older I got the less I feared it. The more I started to enjoy the things only night can bring - stars, bon fires, head lights, the moon. When you're out at night, 9 times out of 10, you're out because you're having too much fun and don't want to go home. And usually it means I'm on some #oldbackroad in a pickup truck. Or in our case, too picky to pick a damn Christmas tree, and already running late, trying to make low light decisions. ..... ..... TELL ME: Do you have a favorite part of the transition from day to night? A weird request I know but tonight you're going to notice it when the sun sets! #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #montanamoment #christmastreehunting #headlights #latenightadventures #bluehour #girlsandtrucks
"I took a lot of photos of pretty places and things that I didn't have a connection to and, now when I look back on those photos, there is no stir of emotion. There is a gravity to take photos that get likes on social media and ignore what you love. Ten years from now social media will have changed and my art will be better if I made it for my taste not "likes." ..... ..... This quote hit me hard the other day. When I first started posting on social media I was posting my life, what I was doing. Pictures of ribs from the Rib Cook Off meant little to anyone but me. However, when Ilook at that photo, I remember how hot it was, I remember sitting there on the concrete wall, laughing and eating ribs with my friend. I look at that simple picture and I can smell, taste, and feel that day. ..... ..... After my photos became more popular I started posting things I knew people would like, things I knew would do well. But when I look at the pictures, I remember me dressing up, driving to a picturesque location, and taking 100 photos, then leaving. That was it. I hate it, the day, the falseness of it, the lack of emotion I had for the whole process. I don't feel anything because the day was completely staged. Sure the photo looks great and got a lot of likes but is that really all I want? No. ..... ..... I've started stepping back from what is popular, what MIGHT make me money, and I've started focusing on things that matter to me. I have more passion, more drive, and I probably get less likes? Does it matter? Definitely not! Because I know the more time I spend taking photos of things I'm passionate about the more I emotion I can convey and the more successful I will be. #bridoesmontana ..... ..... #southwestmontana #billingsmt #bucks #wildlifeaddicts #montanamoment #keepsocialmediasocial #roadtripadventures
