Welcome to the Fairview, Montana Picture Tour

Shooting pictures in Fairview Montana on  June 2011 was a challenge.  The town was a constant blur of semi-truck traffic, pedestrians, and pick-up trucks. The 2010 Census said there were only 840 residents but the activity in town looked more like a Fourth Of July Parade and Rodeo in Ennis, Montana.  What we were witnessing was the frenetic race for oil during the Bakken Oil Boom (2006-2015).  While attempting to shoot a series of nine or more pictures to create a panorama of Ellery Avenue in Fairview I was constantly being interrupted by a line of passing semi-trucks hauling equipment and material to nearby drilling rigs. To this day, I wish I captured the bustling scene on video. I just assumed all the activity would continue.
