Friday Photo - "Ready to Catch Again"

Dennis Wright Original from a Brian Kuchynka Original

A year or so ago, I shot this beautiful old truck along the banks of the Yellowstone River above Mallards Rest boat ramp, our great friend and artist Dennis Wright then made it into an original

pencil rendering. It now hangs proudly in our living room. Just some of the great creativity that comes from getting out and pursuing your passions.

As narriated by John Larison, this is a great touching story of mans home river threatened by big business. With dwindling waters in country, this is a haunting tail of the thing that can happen when the need for product  has a disregard for all other. Nice job to John and North Fork Studios. I enjoyed.
