Steve Raymer Appears At The Tattered Cover Bookstore

Steve Raymer, a National Geographic photo journalist for 25 years, appeared at the Tattered Cover Bookstore in Lower Downtown Denver last night to talk and present a slide presentation on his new book Somewhere West of Lonely:  My Life in Pictures.  Raymer was a 22 year old lieutenant in Vietnam, and later went to school at the University of Wisconsin and won several awards for his photographs.  One day he got a call from National Geographic for a job interview and was hired, he was told, because of his unique way of looking at the world.  And I must say, he is a good speaker and a great photographer, and I thoroughly enjoyed his presentation.  After his career with National Geographic, Raymer taught at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, but still traveled with his wife throughout the world on photo adventures and has published a number of photography books.  Talk about a dream job.  Great to hear you speak, Steve.
