The Photographer
What do you get when you combine an amateur photographer, an interest in geology, and stir in a heavy dose of adventurism? You end up with a man who spends way too much time climbing rocks. Luckily, he brings along a camera. Tom Sharp is an engineer by trade, a model shipbuilder by choice, a life-long student of history by interest, and an avid naturalist by nature. He's been hiking Palo Duro Canyon for several years and has snapped pictures by the hundreds. Tom is pleased to have a chance to share these images with others who, like himself, have a deep appreciation and respect for the wonder of nature that is Palo Duro Canyon.
