This is a picture of Wyman Meinzer from 1974 at a line camp on the 167,000 Pitchfork Ranch in Texas, where armed with a freshly minted degree in wildlife management, he was working as a coyote hunter. The pelts hanging behind him represent a month's take from the trapline. It was here that he developed his hobby of photography and we should all be grateful that he did, because now he takes spectacular photos like the one below from around his home state of Texas.
He has published several books of his photos on subjects such as the 6666 Ranch, Texas landscapes, wildflowers and wildlife, including whitetail deer, roadrunners and coyotes, pronounced "ki-yotes" in Texas. His photographs have appeared in National Geographic, Field & Stream, Time and US News and that's only a partial list. 
Thank you Amelia. I look forward to reading his blog and reading thru his website. His picture looks familiar, I wonder if I've seen some of his work in the Western Horseman. One of my favorite magazines.
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, it's more than likely. To me, the man's work is a treasure.
