Missoula Rabble, "Everybody thinks I've been here forever," Charles said. He came to Missoula in 2007 to take a summer course at the Rocky Mountain School of Photography. "I got out of my car, walked around downtown, and said, 'I'm home,'" he said. Charles is a prominent music photographer in Missoula. It didn't start out that way. "I came here to do landscape and wildlife," he said. He changed his mind. "There's so much of it. I'd rather just look at it then take pictures of it." He started to admire and shoot Missoula's architecture and soon moved onto bands. He was asked to take pictures of the local band Swizzlegrit and then Russ Nasset. "I took pictures of Russ Nasset at the Union Club and I was hooked," he said. Charles has a show up at Monk's Bar next month. I recommend taking a look. This guy is very good.
