New Release- Reserrection

Resurrection- (prints available/ call 307.733.8880)

Richter Fine Art Photography New Release

Coming Upon this scene in Yellowstone national Park was truly invigorating! I had long wanted to photograph such a brilliant display of wildflowers in this setting and this year's bloom was fantastic thanks to a record snowpack the previous winter. Scouting the scene I found the depth and diversity of the bloom to be phenomenal! This is my first release from the new 6x17 panoramic format and I couldn't be more pleased. This piece is sure to quickly become one of my best selling classics!

Memories being made!
Hiking the Comb Ridge west of Butler Wash in SE Utah is always an adventure. We were in the area and met friends for yet another Desert foray while the kids are out for Spring Break. The ruins are absolutely pristine in this area with incredible artifacts and intriguing rock art to stir the imagination.

We were treated to a nice display of falling water in Moonflower Canyon outside of Moab, Utah. Overnight rain and snow created numerous small waterfalls off of the sandstone cliffs above!

Looking into Monarch

Monarch Cave is located in the Comb Ridge of Southern Utah. The ridge extends for over 100 miles and is littered with Archeological treasures like Monarch Cave. There are no signs, no marked trails or trailheads, just desert wandering!
