Montana Is.: Montana Inverse and Photography

Mike Logan loves everything about Montana. During his first year in the state, he fished over two hundred days. During the next twenty, he spent at least that many days afield each year: fishing, photographing, and hunting the marvelous big-skied state. In Montana Is...Mike shares through words and photographs, the way he sees the state-with all the love, admiration, and wonder of an adopted son.

Mike Logan, a veteran photographer, had a lifelong interest in ranch life spurred him to capture his observations on film and in verse. Mike's keen insight and expansive western spirit won him national acclaim, both as a featured poet and emcee at The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, and as a guest on John Denver's 1991 "Montana Christmas Skies" television special. His words and photographs have also been published in numerous books, magazines, and calendars.

Mike's fascination with Yellowstone began when he was just out of high school. On a trip from his native southeast Kansas to work for the U.S. Forest Service in Idaho, he passed through Yellowstone. He never fully recovered from the experience.
