"We did not think of the great open plains, the beautiful rolling hills, and winding streams with tangled growth as wild.
Earth was beautiful and we were surrounded with the blessings of the Great Mystery."
     — Luther Standing Bear, Oglala Lakota

 

Greetings and welcome. My name is Kevin Crosby,  I am a Landscape and Nature Photographer, originally from South-East Louisiana and now living in South-West TN. Through my photography, my desire is to showcase the natural beauty of the United States focusing on locations in and around National Park System and inspire others to admire the many special places found here.

  Most of the images showcased here are available as Fine Art Photographic Prints and Wall Murals for private collectors, corporate, and hospitality decor industry clients.

  I started early with a Mamiya/Sekor 500 DTL 35mm film camera purchased in 1971. In 1975 I was invited to join the LSU Gumbo yearbook staff. This gave me the opportunity to shoot in lots of environments with many different pieces of camera gear from 35mm Nikon to medium format Hasselblad. The lesson I learned early was good pictures are made when you see something worth shooting, then refine it into a strong and simple composition. Cameras don't make pictures, lenses don't either, people do.

  In 2003 I purchased my first digital camera, an Olympus C-5050. Adequate but I was still wishing for the capabilities of a SLR. It would be 3 years later when I obtained my first DSLR, the Nikon D80, I was hooked again. Several years ago, my wife and I decided to travel the USA.

  You'll see a variety of different camera hardware in use on my site, yes even some cellphone captures.
 
   I hope that you will enjoy my photographs as much as I had fun making them.
