Winter Photography in Yellowstone National Park
About Bill and Rosemary Galloway
Lakeway residents Bill and Rosemary Galloway have taken photographs (beginning with black and white film) for more than 50 years.
Bill was given his father’s Argus C-3 when a teenager. The camera had traveled to Europe in World War II, so it was not only a tangible piece of history, but introduced Bill to the basics of photography: exposure, depth of field, and framing. Bill increasingly turned to color, both for recreation and in his profession as a geologist.
Rosemary became the family portrait artist, a position she retains.
An introduction to the emerging power of digital photography on a winter photo safari to Yellowstone reinvigorated their enthusiasm for their favorite subjects, landscape, wildlife, wildflowers, and travel.
Photography safaris have taken them to the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, New England, the Rocky Mountains, Yellowstone, and the national parks of the Southwest. Closer to home, they have for many years walked the trails of Inks Lake State Park and traveled the byways of the Texas Hill Country, documenting the profusion and diversity of wildflowers, birds, and butterflies that grace the Hill Country. Their photographs have appeared in Texas Co-Op Power and Lakeway Voice magazines, Hill Country Alliance calendars, and online in the National Habitat Adventures Wildlife Photo of the Day series.

Traveling with Tom
Capturing wildlife in their own habitat is challenging but rewarding. When I am in the field it’s about the thrill of the chase and I can’t wait to capture the next image.
I enjoy hiking, exploring, and taking photos in national and state parks, and local natural areas.”
“I’ve had a life-long love of cameras and photography. I started playing with my parent’s cameras as a youngster (always without film), took pictures with Kodak 110 pocket cameras as a teenager, and obtained my first real camera, a Canon A1, after graduating high school.
The Exhibition is a traveling exhibit beginning at the Art League of Baytown on July 3rd-August 31st. The photographs will then travel to the Center for Contemporary Art in Abilene for display from November 21st, 2019 – January 18th, 2020 and then to Odessa College from February 3rd – March 2020.
