About the Photographer: Lee Silliman
We don't often explore artists in this format, and this time we’re excited to spotlight Lee Silliman again as he prepares for his upcoming event. We wanted to take another look at his work and the impact he’s making, showcasing his talent and vision.

Lee Silliman began the craft of photography in 1979, built his own
darkroom and picture framing shop in 1983, and began using a Wisner 8 x 10
inch field view camera in 1989. The photographic master Ansel Adams was
Silliman’s artistic inspiration, as well as the source of important technical
information on the craft of silver based film photography. Utilizing his own
photographs, the historic photos from the museum collection he managed,
and vintage engravings that he purchased, Silliman has curated exhibits that
have been displayed in more than one hundred venues in Montana and ten
other states.
Gallery 709 in Montana Art and Framing is exhibiting black and
white photography February 7th to the 28th. “Dancing Waters: The
Lakes, Rivers, & Waterfalls of Yellowstone National Park”, by Lee
Silliman, who ventured into Yellowstone’s backcountry for three
weeks every year from 1990 to 2006 and photographed with his 8 x
10-inch view camera, its rarely seen watery realms. Opens February
7, from 5–9 pm at 709 Ronan Street, Missoula. Call 406-541-7100 or
