Wyoming Wildlife Photo Essay Issue on Newsstands
04/11/2003
WGFD
CHEYENNE -- April means the start of major league baseball and the income tax deadline, but most importantly to lovers of wildlife photography and conservation prose, the annual Wyoming Wildlife magazine photo-essay issue.
With a yellow-headed blackbird on the cover, the 40 pages are filled with 44 color images of Wyoming’s fauna, flora and vistas. The shots are some of the most noteworthy entries in the magazine’s 2002 photo contest.
Between the photos, Editor Chris Madson links the quotes of famed frontiersmen Daniel Boone and Osborne Russell with statements of some of today’s leading biologists. With added injections from John James Audubon, George Bird Grinnell and “Ding” Darling, Madson crystallizes their laments about losing revered game and its habitat.
But as he does every April, Madson compels readers to think about the future: “What does the future hold for wildlife and wild places? Few of us have the gift of prescience, but there are unsettling whispers, even here in the Empty Quarter of the Rock Mountain West.”
The annual April photo-essay issue is often regarded by readers as a “collector’s item,” “coffee table edition” and “an issue that refuses to become dated.” The magazine is available at newsstands and bookstores. Subscriptions to the monthly publication can be purchased by calling (800) 710-8345.
