Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park Photography Adventures
by Ralph Kerr
My name is Ralph Kerr. I describe myself as a “Country Boy” who enjoys the out-of-doors and, particularly, wildlife photography. Many of my early life bird-watching experiences came from the seat of a farm tractor, while working the fields of the North Dakota farm where I grew up.
All of my life, observing wildlife has been a diversion from life’s routines and stresses. Approximately 17 years ago I became seriously interested in photographing wildlife. My career, from which I retired in 2012, was that of a CPA, during which time I primarily worked with taxes. I am not a professionally trained photographer. I started out on my own, tried many things and made lots of mistakes, while enjoying every minute of it. Along the way I had opportunities to ask questions of various professional photographers and I give them all my thanks for being patient and offering guidance. I follow a statement from a professional photographer who said, “The more time I spend out there, the luckier I get.” I challenge myself by occasionally entering photo contests and producing an annual Wildlife Calendar. It is my great honor to be invited to share my photography from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks with you.
