In 2009 a group of photographers helped establish the Bozeman Suvery a public archive of photographs and media to document Bozeman, Montana’s growth and change over time. Most of this body of work has been created with the intent of contributing to the archive, but it’s also my personal attempt to describe the transitory nature of this northern town.
