Growing up in central Nebraska, Dave Peterson, like many kids his age, didn't know what to do with his life. His guidance counselor said he wasn't smart enough to be a nuclear physicist, or even a sandwich artist, for that matter (no offense to sandwich artists). But he was smart enough to check out picture books from the school library. One of those books happened to be a photo-essay on Northwest Wyoming, a much more exciting place than the flatlands of Nebraska. And it was only one state away. Furthermore, how hard could it be, he thought, to get up early and snap a few pictures--pictures for a possible photo book of his own? So, after high school, Dave set out to make his fortune as a nature photographer in Northwest Wyoming. Forty long years and countless adventures later this book came into being. He's still waiting on that fortune.
