Outdoorsman finds happiness with photography

SEELEY LAKE – Eric Kottman of Lincoln has been offering his photography at the Seeley Lake Market for three years. Eric Kottman Photography offers a variety of scenic and wildlife prints, mostly of Northwest Montana.

Kottman has been shooting scenic and wildlife photography for the past 20 years. He attends shows all over Montana but has been a regular at the Seeley Lake Market.

"I've always enjoyed photography and being out in nature and doing things," Kottmann said. "[The] two of them are a happy marriage because I've just always liked photography and I am an avid outdoor person.

Regarding the Seeley Lake Market, Kottmann said, "I love it because everyone is so friendly and love the grass setting."

His most popular prints are Kinth Lake with Clouds and Beaver Lake Sunset. Kottmann's work is available at the Choteau Art Gallery, Avon Cafe and online at http://www.erickottmannphotography.com.
