Biography
Steve S. Meyer has been photographing the natural world for over
30 years. His main focus has been on the Baraboo Hills, Wisconsin
River Valley region in south central Wisconsin. Through a continual
learning process he attempts to capture the nuances and subtle changes
of light and landscape, changes created in a moment by a cloud passing
the sun, overnight by the freezing of a lake surface, or eons in
the creation of quartzite rock formations. Returning to a favorite
place always presents a new vision to contemplate.
Steves travels have taken him to western U.S., western Canada,
Ireland, Scotland and New Zealand, where he has enjoyed capturing
moments in the landscapes of those regions.
Steve's images have been published in the Wisconsin Trails magazine.
He donates use of his images to the state and international chapters
of the Nature Conservancy, where they have appeared in many of their
publications, including two photos of the month. Steve was a finalist
in the 2006 and 2007 international Nature Conservancy photo contests
and received second place recognition in the 2008 Wisconsin Trails
photo contest. Steve's work has been the subject of a recent profile
on The Nature Conservancy's web site .

Landscapes of the Baraboo Hills and Wisconsin River," in the
