Autobiographical Information:  Bob Strayer, Boulder Ridge Photography, Laramie , Wyoming .

My interest in photography is entwined with my fascination for, and relationship with the natural world.  I have always, from childhood, found peace, comfort, and renewal in the natural world, and my spirituality is intimately based in that relationship.  This began in my experiences growing up in Iowa , and Wisconsin where I worked on a dairy farm and explored the hardwood forests.  It continued through my experiences in the Peace Corps, my wonderings in eastern Nebraska in the breaks along the Missouri river, and more recently in my life in Wyoming . 

Most of my photography is of the natural world and represents my eternally, futile effort to capture the beauty and mystery of wild places.  Photography always fascinated me and I began to find creative expression through it while in the Peace Corps.  There I discovered so much that was new to me.  Taking pictures helped me to see more clearly what I was experiencing and, was an attempt to capture some of that adventure.   This continues to be the motivating force for my photography. 

I have only recently begun to share my pictures in the public.  This is probably a natural step from the satisfaction I experience in sharing it with friends and family. I am humbled by my experience in the natural world and in the opportunity to share the experience with others
