The Texas Panhandle is an immense country to behold and here, at sunset, I was fascinated by the shadowed undulations of the oceanic landscape stretching before me. Taken north of Pampa, Texas just north of the Canadian river. Canon F1N, AE motordrive and a Canon 80-200mm F4 lens. Fuji Velvia 50 ISO film.
Wyman Meinzer is the only official State Photographer of Texas. He was raised on League Ranch, a 27,000-acre ranch in the rolling plains of Texas. Since then, he has traveled across the state many times to capture the first and last rays of sunlight as they kiss the Texas landscapes.
He started his career as a professional predator hunter. He transitioned into a research associate for the university and now teaches a senior-level course in Special Problems Photography at Texas Tech University in addition to his ongoing book projects and freelance magazine assignments.
