Baron Barnet t, Cover Artist

Dr Barnett has been photographing seriously for about 15 years

and began by documenting various elements in the western cow-
boy world. His goal is to isolate a unique moment or element in
a given environment. During his travels, he has photographed
botanical, traditional, and urban landscapes. In general, he has
used the Mamiya 7 medium format equipment and began using a
digital camera with a full sensor 2 years ago. Dr Barnett’s current
focus is photographing people in their environments, particularly
at special celebrations, and he often accompanies professional
photographers who have become his friends.

Cover Photograph
Palouse Falls: Taken in the spring, in southeast Washington state, the falls drop 200 feet. The name
commemorates the Palouse Indian Culture. The canyon at the falls is 377 feet deep, exposing a large
cross section of the Columbia River Basalt Group. The ancestral river flowed into the Columbia River.
