There are many individual herds of Bison that roam the Lamar Valley. This image was created during a Canon Workshop
The sun sets over the Lamar Street Bridge as it spans across the Colorado River near downtown Austin TX.
I love to stop and walk across the bridge over the Lamar River to look for otters, and sometimes other interesting wildlife, or at least, the tracks they leave in winter.. No otters this day, but I'll keep looking!

This is my bro Jonathan ripping up what little snow we have. I trusted him enough to lay under the ramp and get him to jump over me. After a few times of this, and some crazy looks from others, I felt the wind from his board and decided that Ill take some other pictures NOT right under the ramp.

Most of us cannot imagine the trauma of having an entire life's work and the tools one uses to create it destroyed. I know I cannot. Allow me to introduce Lamar Smith.
Lamar is a visionary, an artist, a photographer, a businessman, a true professional and a consumate gentleman. When his college photography instructor informed him that very few people ever make a decent living with photography, Lamar told him "Watch me work." When digital photography came to the forefront, Lamar embraced it. When he noticed my photography on flickr, and recognized that I was working in the same area, Lamar reached out and invited me to breakfast. We laughed and talked all morning.
When Lamar's studio, all of his equipment and his life's work were destroyed by fire in July of this year, I contacted Lamar and offered him the use of my studio. He thanked me, but declined my offer and told me he had an iPhone. Then he took that iPhone and never missed a beat. He absolutely proved that the camera is only a tool. It is the eye of the photographer that matters.
Lamar is an institution. I'm glad to see a Canon with a Metz flash in his hands again, but his camera doesn't matter. It is his artist's eye, his joie de vivre, his determination and sheer grit that make Lamar who he is. It is who he is, and the positive example he sets that makes me proud to call him my friend.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my health, my family, my friends and for new beginnings. And I am thankful for the example that Lamar provides, not just to me, an amatuer with a camera, but to professional photographers everywhere. Rock on Lamar, rock on!

Built in 1907 by the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway this train station still serves as an Amtrak stop as well as a Colorado Welcome Center.
Early morning in the Lamar Valley in search of wildlife ... wolves, coyotes, bison, pronghorn, elk, bald eagles, etc.

I always stop and walk across the bridge over the Lamar River in Yellowstone. In winter it's fun to view the different tracks left by wildlife in the snow. I often have no idea who left them, but it serves to remind me that so much goes on in that park without human observation.
Looking north-northwest here as the Lamar makes its way to join the Yellowstone River a few miles away.

The cottonwoods lit by the early evening sun is in great contrast to the mountains shaded by the clouds. I was lucky to have the sun peak through the clouds to add a spot of sunshine on the snow. When I took a closer look at the photo, I found that I had captured two antelope that can be seen at the bottom center. This photo was taken looking southeast toward Saddle Mountain and Castor Peak.
Lamar Valley Ranger Station and the Buffalo Ranch sit above the highway and the Lamar River long after sunset in the last good light of the evening.
Lamar, I pray that you find peace on the other side. Your life Was too short in just 27 years. I still, have high hopes for you even though you're not here.
After importing >101,000 images into Lightroom I've been enjoying editing some I never looked at before and experimenting in Lightroom, Photoshop and Nik Silver Efex. I like the vintage tone and torn edge effect here which seemed perfect for this timeless valley in Yellowstone.
