Greetings and Welcome!

I've been photographing Wyoming and all of its wild residents for my entire 38 year career, and it never gets old or tiring. If the good Lord gave me several lifetimes I could not accomplish all that I dream of or visit all of the places in this state I've called home for 57 years.

I have two websites currently that showcase my work at www.jerrygeist.com and www.wyomingpanorama.com. There you will see galleries of landscape images, Wyoming's wildlife and wildflowers and special galleries of my favorite place, Yellowstone National Park and my favorite large mammal, Bison Bison or the buffalo as many call them. There is a special gallery dedicated to this fascinating creature and I've even made a special tribute print called 'Tatanka and the Iron Horse - the Decimations Haunting Specter' remembering the near extinction of this most significant symbol of the west. My intrigue for this wonderful animal will continue for as long as I can make trips to photograph them.

You can read all about my work, my career and individual pictures by visiting the website, but here I will share with you special places that have particular interest to me, see how I travel and shoot my images, read about some of my past and present experiences, meet friends that have shared special times with me, hear my ramblings about equipment, and hopefully respond to some of your comments.

Well, that is enough of an introduction. Welcome to my world - Images of Wyoming.

Parade of Homes Displays Panoramas


Last Saturday was the first day of the annual Parade of Homes show for builders in the Cheyenne area. One of the builders requested the use of three of my panoramas for their display home. One is a 7' wide panorama taken in the Clarks Fork Canyon area of northwestern Wyoming. It is shown here displayed in the formal dining room.

In the living room they have chosen to display a six and a half foot tall vertical panorama above the fireplace. The cathedral ceilings lend themselves to the display of this large vertical panorama taken in the Bighorn Mountains. It is a shot of Granite Creek in the early spring with new foliage and frost covered trees in a heavy fog. This is a very favorite shot of mine.

And finally is another vertical waterfall panorama taken in the Beartooth Mountains. I call it Hazardous Falls, but it is actually a picture of Lake Creek Falls. The picture hangs in the area separating the kitchen from the living room and dining room area. Vertical panoramas lend themselves to very high ceiling areas or smaller walls with limited space.

The panorama images have garnered a lot of comments and you can get some great ideas for decorating your home by walking through these show homes. All the panoramas were framed by Framemaster of Cheyenne. After the Parade of Homes, you can see these images for yourself by visiting the Framemaster gallery.
