Yesterday I taught a group of students about photography techniques in Glacier. They were artists and writers from Canada and the U.S. — winners of a competition whose name escapes me. At any rate, I showed them the good old "red shirt technique." A red shirt, particularly against blue skies, does wonders to brighten up a photo. I had an editor who would drool if I came back with a photo of someone in a red shirt in the mountains. Now I just carry a red shirt with me. It really does work.

Answer to the photo below (not one person even guessed): It's the old Doody Homestead, en route to Harrison Lake.
