Missoulian photographer Linda Thompson had a confession to make yesterday: She wasn’t so sure she even liked going to the Western Montana Fair when she began a weeklong assignment to shoot portraits of fairgoers.

We’re taking readers on a drive this Sunday in the Missoulian, kind of like those Sunday drives your parents were always taking when you were a child.

Both young women are singers. Both have voices [...]

One last look back, through tears and laughter

Missoulian photographers’ favorite photos of 2009

Every year, I look forward to one look back: the Missoulian photographers’ collection of favorite photos from the past 12 months, displayed as a collage in our newspaper (and here) and as an audio slideshow online.

They are beautiful photographs, of course, incredible really. Funny, tender, chest-thumping, heartbreaking, in turn. [...]

Coming attractions: big Grizzlies, good chemicals, awesome tailgate parties

In between the turkey and trimmings, Missoulian reporters and photographers have produced an incredible lineup for this weekend’s newspapers.
The planning, in fact, goes back about six weeks. Long years of experience have taught us to plan ahead – way ahead! – for holiday weeks.
And while there is still always that last-minute rush of stories and [...]
