Pine Ridge Escarpment & Western Nebraska

Explore Nebraska’s Pine Ridge Escarpment and Western Nebraska through this fine art photography collection. From Fort Robinson, Dawes and Sioux counties to the Oglala National Grassland and the Nebraska Badlands, the region unfolds in towering buttes, ponderosa pine ridges, open grasslands and dramatic skies.

To the south, Chimney Rock and Scotts Bluff National Monument rise along the historic Oregon and Mormon Trails. Shaped by wind, wildfire, storm and time, this is a landscape of remarkable beauty and history. I return often to photograph its changing light, ranching heritage and immense horizons, creating color and black-and-white images that explore the enduring character of Western Nebraska.
