My friend the photographer Louis Habeck visited from Billings this week to do some freelance work, and who can resist a chance to document the collections while they’re in town?  I was pretty proud of this portrait I snapped of him amidst the shoot, and I look forward to featuring some more of the pictures throughout the week.  I’ve posted some of his work before; a shot of some live mount birds, and this portrait of a bald eagle to list a few. 

The second photo gives you an idea of how Louis is going about it; the colored lights are just the beginning.
