Wyman, the photographer, used to live in the old jail in Benjamin, TX. The photo of the coiled rattlesnake appeared on the cover of a wildlife magazine in the 80's.
He said, there were times he crawled a long way on his belly to get a good shot of a wild animal.
The music is by Doug Smith. Doug is from Petersburg, Texas and lives south of town. Doug plays by ear- He cannot read music, but has many CDs.
A pickup accident left Doug paralyzed and he does not play anymore. Most of the pictures were taken in the rolling plains (cap rock to Seymour, the Fork, 6666, and Waggoner Ranches. There are some scenes in Palo Duro Canyon.
Please take a moment and view....I don't know if I've ever come across such a skillful combination of music and amazing animal and landscape photography.
The changes in the tempo perfectly compliment the scenery. It is simply a beautiful portrayal of our magnificent home state!
Love this video. Close to my home and heart. Wyman is a very talented photographer, Texas official state photographer I seem to remember!
Thank you for this thread. Beautifully done in all aspects! Bookmarked.
Thanks so much for sharing this tribute to a wonderful photographer and our Great State of Texas.
That is awesome.
There’s an intelligence looking out of the eyes of the wolves and Bobcats.
The wolf at 1:14 is doing his, “You talkin to me” bit.
I am a West Texan! This video was great.
Ping. You have to see this!
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That’s why I long to be in Texas. Just beautiful, Responsibility2nd!
So beautiful, thank you. Brought a tear to my eye.
I recognize many of these places from my travels, but nobody sees it like Wyman. I grew up not far from the Caprock, up on the High Plains, so these places are near and dear to my heart.
Most awesome.
