Camden Hardy Photography

Here are some images from Camden Hardy.  Mr. Hardy is a graduate of Montana State University and will be attending Grad School at University of Arizona in Fall 2009.  Much of his work deals with social landscapes in Bozeman, Montana and Lihue, Hawaii.  Some of his work that I really enjoy are stitched collages of landscapes in the Beartooth Mountain Range (see top image).  Mr. Hardy is also involved in a collaborative project between students and professors of MSU documenting the greater Bozeman area over time called the Bozeman Survey Project.  Mr. Hardy photographs with both large and medium formats with a distinct style including much of the foreground.  Check out Mr. Hardy's website.

Zachary S. Allen Photography

Check out the photography of fellow MSU Graduate Zachary S. Allen.  His work documents people and places from areas in which he feels important for various reasons.  The Hi-Line is a project documenting the Hi-Line region of Northern Montana, which surrounds what was originally the Great Northern Railway.  While staying near Cutbank, Montana, Mr. Allen has chosen some very interesting landscapes to include in this series as well as some great portraits; a house which was "Once Montana's Largest Meth Lab" and a "Texaco Oil Cleanup Site" as well as a guy named "Kodiak".  Roseland is a body of photographs documenting a new sustainably built "green" community near Richmond, Virginia.  His work shows the impenetrable, dominating forest that is the setting for this community based on the "New Urbanism" philosophy.  The Transitory project documents the area around Bozeman, Montana in a manner similar to Stephen Shore.  Mr. Allen is also part of a collaborative project called The Bozeman Survey Project, documenting the greater Bozeman, Montana area with students and professors of MSU.  All of Mr. Allen's photographs were created using 4x5 or 8x10 format and in the hopes of re-photographing several of the images over time.
