Is there another kind of Tom Waits?:confused:

Or, "Is that a Hasselblad?"

I was setting up my Speed Graphic here, on the side of a dirt road near Noxon, MT when two young guys in a pickup dressed entirely in camo drove up and stopped by me. They didn't say anything, just gave me a kinda cold look. I didn't know what to say, so I simply said,"Old school." The response was great: "Hell, ya!" and smiles all around. They drove off laughing and I got my shot once the dust cleared.

And it is a beautiful shot.
