Apart from operating Bondpix Freelance Photography, designing and updating the Bondpix website and new online store, I have recently started re-designing the website for the local Powell County Chamber of Commerce website, here in Deer Lodge Montana. The Chamber represents local businesses and helps promote our county for business and tourist visitors. You can see the website at Powell County Chamber of Commerce. A lot more work is yet to be done over the coming months.
I also work for the local Powell County Museum & Arts Foundation, which runs the Old Montana Prison complex. The foundation helps support the local community in many ways, not least in running the Museums in and around the old Territorial Prison. Apart from the old prison buildings, the complex houses the Montana Auto Museum, Yesterday’s Playthings (toy and doll museum), Frontier Montana (Western and firearm museum), Powell County Museum and Cottonwood City (old historical buildings, including a working blacksmith). I am employed as an online store clerk, and run their Ebay store as well as their new online gift shop at www.pcmaf.org/shop. My wife Valerie is the main gift shop clerk in the Visitors Center.
I also help design and layout the Museums Visitors Guide and other publications and flyer’s, and designed their new logo. I also just started running the Museums new online blog
The Museum is a fascinating place to work and visit. The Old Prison is home to a large number of paranormal spirits, from full body apparitions, glowing orbs, strange sounds and voices (EVP), and other inexplicable events. Ghost tours are planed for the coming months, as well as full Paranormal Training courses for those who would like to learn how to identify, and explain, many of the strange happenings.
