Jackson Hole is a very special place. Not many people from back East talk about it so I never really knew where it was or what it had in store. Katrina on the other hand, had spent a few summers in Jackson as a river guide on the Snake river. She loved it there and the endless outdoor activities that could be found there.
When we first arrived it was the end of May and it was 28-34 degrees out and we were living and sleeping outside in canvas tents! Not a very good start for me since I was new to all this and it was freakin' cold! Well, it did warm up...eventually.
Once the summer got going, I really enjoyed photographing out there. Though I had a job taking pictures of paragliders and mountain bikers, it was the few chances I got to take pictures of the scenery and nature that really got me hooked on Jackson Hole.
Below are some examples of pictures that I am proud to have been able to take and hope the rest of you enjoy these as well.
