You can Photograph History

One of the best places to collect images from the North Dakota Badlands is at the Fort Union Trading Post. Their annual gatherings are a photographers dream.  Every June is a collection of buckskinners, trappers and traders.  Have you considered taking your camera there to get images in black-and-white or another vintage look? This selection of snapshots gives you an idea of what you could see.

Or you can just view the entire set, (and shop for something for you or as a gift.)
