I traveled 10,000 miles in 2008 and probably more miles this year through eastern Oregon, northern Nevada, northern California photographing people who still live the old Great Basin buckaroo traditions. I have nearly 160,000 photos so far for you to enjoy. This is how you find my home site: http://www.buckaroocountry.com

Note: as I am uploading from my archives, I can sure see the difference a good camera makes. I've had a Nikon D300 for the last two two years, I shot with a Nikon D200 for 2-3 years before that, a little Nikon digital in 2005, and a negative camera from 1990 to 2004. Wish I could afford a Nikon D3!

Be sure and go clear to the top of the page and try the style options...they're really neat....and check out the different view size options.

I am so disappointed because it has come to my attention that there is wide-spread theft of my photos by screensaving and right clicking. Copying, downloading or using the photos in any manner without permission is a copyright violation and breaks the law. If you didn't know the law or if you did know the law and you have even one honest bone in your body, and you have illegal copies of my photos that you've printed out, used in computer slide shows or as screensavers, or put on your cell phone, you need to delete them or tear them up right away and buy legal copies. I thank those of you who ARE respecting my copyright! I don't even break even so I depend on every single photo purchase to help cover my trips. Sorry to be such a grouch but this is really disturbing and heartbreaking! Thank you.
