About
Born in New Mexico, raised in Wyoming and Montana, the mountain west has always been my home. I come from mountaineering families on both sides: my maternal grandfather was a pioneering climber in the Sierra Nevada, while my father guided in the Tetons and climbed in China and Nepal. Both my parents guided for Outward Bound. I ran my first river at nine months old, and have been hiking and backpacking longer than I can remember. My other major influence has been my step-father, Stephen Bodio, a nature writer, falconer and traveler, and as fine a family member as I could hope to have.
I studied black and white photography in high school, under an excellent teacher, but failed to apply myself. After high school, I began guiding for ARTA River Trips, and my interest in photography gradually rekindled as I endeavored to share with friends and family my work in the finest landscapes of the American West. Meanwhile, I studied classical literature, philosophy and history of mathematics at St. Johnâs College in Santa Fe, New Mexico. I am currently living with my wife and son in the Palouse region of eastern Washington.
Photographically, I travel light and prefer to shoot off pavement and explore unknown locations. My favorite landscapes include the unknown expanses and little-visited mountains of rural New Mexico, the canyons of Dinosaur National Monument, and the vast wilderness of Central Idaho.

Crest, Cliff & Canyon 
A nice selection and wow – the third one has SUCH a classic appearance of black & white landscape photography, it’s wunderful. The silvery reflection on the water, the curving lines and rugged rocks. Wonderful!
Thank you, Alex! The is definitely the aesthetic I was aiming for in the third image – glad to hear I got there. The B&W conversion on that one took several attempts.
I really like your beautiful blog. A pleasure to come stroll on your pages. A great discovery and a very interesting blog. I will come back to visit you. Do not hesitate to visit my universe. Happy New Year đ A soon.
Thank you, I appreciate the kind words! it’s always a pleasure when people take the time to say hello. Bonne annĂ©e et bonne santĂ©!
The opening abstract is stunning, Jackson. And the last image is mesmerizing – that sensual curve and the way the rocks soften in the distance….
