Before breaking out the good paper, decided to do a quick one of the church next to the museum. This one turned out much better than the next watercolor I attempted
Four out of five Buddhas agree: Mongolian Field Notes are pretty cool.
The fifth Buddha has thrown down his garlic flower in protest and wishes to be returned to his pedestal in the kitchen window. He will not be used as a prop!
Polished, nickel-plated trim. Smooth plastic for smooth handling. Really. Make a gun out of the things, just like in 4th grade. Square deal.(From Field Notes Website)
tree of codes. & i started on a new field notes notebook. this is where i write my thoughts. sometimes they even make it to the internet.
anyway, i really loved this book.
& also, i was listening to the xx.
oh, and the red isn't a light leak! it's from my pajamas.
It's been a few weeks and I finished another notebook. I decided to switch it up again this time with the standard classic.
I have been using primarily graph-style paper for the last few editions here ever since switching from the Shelterwood series so I decided to use classic lined.
I have been going through notebooks more quickly lately and I think that is due to my small studio.
During the course of my day, I write down the things I think are important or what I want to accomplish. It is less of a to-do list and more of a historical record of what I did.
Now with my studio, I have been sketching out shoot ideas and project plans complete with diagrams. It's been a while since I just sketched designs freehand, but it feels great.

i stumbled upon this classic combo of field notes and flannel and looked down.
indeed, i was wearing field notes and flannel and a canadian tuxedo and a union suit.
the union suit is actually from the kittery trading post in kittery, maine, but i'm not sure you can get a more classic wisconsin ensemble.
( and in case you're wondering odin traded me the amber edition he picked for the dark brown-black stout. )
Where Truth, if Truth there be, doth ever dwell;
Death too is there,and Death who would not seek?
And Love that in itself is Heaven and Hell.

I've been told that "belly band" is the official term for these strips of paper, shown here wrapped around an old tea can to make a nifty pencil cup. So many uses! So versatile! Plus when you buy one they throw in three Field Notes memo books at no extra charge!

This is the abandoned Masonic Temple of Galata, Montana. It sits at the very western edge of the ghost town. The building looks quite old but the interior looks like it was last updated in the 60s. I loved the curtains in the window but was sad to see the glass knocked out--this will make the building decay much faster.
Galata is almost a complete ghost town. There really are no more businesses open. Only a few homes are still lived in. This town has an interesting history and there are so many abandoned buildings that I would love to know the story behind.
Here is a video from when I drove through this great ghost town:

"Galata, east of Shelby, is near Willow Creek, one of the streams that flows into the reservoir created by Tiber Dam. It was a trading point and cattle shipping station on the Great Northern’s High Line. In 1901 David R. McGinnis, first immigration agent of the Great Northern Railroad, was so impressed by the beauty of the spot that he filed a claim for the land near the railroad where it crossed dry Galata Creek. McGinnis hired a surveyor to lay out a town and the following year brought carpenters and lumber from Kalispell to build a two-room house.
Cattlemen from the Marias River ranges brought their cattle to Galata for shipment to eastern markets. On cold winter days they were glad to have the protection of the two little rooms in the only building in “town.” The house burned down in 1904, but in 1905 McGinnis began rebuilding Galata. He built a two-room real estate office and an eight-room hotel, and eventually induced a storekeeper to set up shop in one of the rooms of the real estate office. Ranches would drive in with a chuckwagon and load up on $500—sometimes even $1,000—worth of supplies, pay in cash and return home for the long winter. After a few years, Galata’s only merchant closed shop and the hotel was abandoned; McGinnis gave up his dream of a town and moved to Kalispell.
One day he was surprised to receive a check in the mail. It was marked “back rent,” and was from a cowhand who had moved into the deserted Galata store and had done a good business with dryland farmers who were then settling on the old-time open range. By 1910 Galata had four lumberyards and five store. (from Cheney’s Names on the Face of Montana, Mountain Press Publishing Company)
Near Galata, residents and visitors can enjoy one of the most versatile recreational areas in Montana, Tiber Dam-Lake Elwell. The lake provides excellent year-round angling for Walleye, Northern and Sauger Pike, native trout, Ling, Perch and others. Some may want to try their hand at bow fishing for carp that often exceed 20 pounds. For boaters and swimmers the area boasts over 50 miles of shoreline, a marina, and four well-maintained boat ramps located strategically around the lake. There are also numerous campground areas.
While you're at Tiber you'll observe spectacular windblown sandstone formations, Indian rings, and one of the largest earthen dikes in the world! The area surrounding Tiber contains excellent hunting, and a unique birdwatching area is located along the Marias River below Tiber Dam." -Montana's Russell Country Website

This is a link to a neat photo taken near Galata many, many years ago:
If you follow a dirt trail (that disappears eventually) west out of the ghost town of Galata, Montana you will see these buildings. There really is no way to get to to them anymore (no road that is) but they are part of Galata, MT! It's so odd because they are fairly far removed from Galata its self. But the buildings do belong to the town of Galata--the depot says "Galata" on the side. What a mystery!
