The Face of Montana: Exchange Student

Published February 7, 2011 – 4:20 pm

"Painting is the only thing I really keep on doing," says Yukari Sinji, an international student from Japan who was determined to become an artist since she was 5. Thinking about how to frame her picture, she came up with an idea of piano keys. "It was boring and I thought about adding some sudden detail... but it also reminds me of film," she added. Sinji is one of 101 foreign students from Japan studying at the University of Montana this year according to the Undergraduate Advising Center.

New West and the Outdoors

When one looks through the photos that have been submitted to New West over time, either directly or through our robust Flickr pool of enormously talented contributors, it is clear that the landscape inspires creative genius.  To date, our 835 Flickr group members have uploaded nearly 27,000 photos, and many of them are jaw-dropping-ly gorgeous.

In reader survey after reader survey, the New West audience continues to peg outdoor recreation as their favorite topic of interest, and with the stunning Rocky Mountain backdrop, the (recreation and photo) possibilities are endless.

When we match the two – reader interest and beautiful photos – we come up with a new editorial home which also serves as a great place to show off the robust Rocky Mountain photo talent:  Adventure Rockies.

The writers for Adventure Rockies have diverse interests and styles, and they write about river guiding, running, hiking, rafting, and a whole host of other outdoor recreation.  The stories are anchored by a changing set of photos, so please visit and then promptly…..send us your best shot(s)!  We will run as many of them as time and space permits, and then we will run them again here to give your work the widest exposure possible.  It’s a win/win.
