Can you make a post about photo assignments? I always keep hearing about then, but never understand that much

Sure thing! What would you like to know about them?

Just generally how the steps work, to me it always sounds like a game quest when I head about it lol

That awkward moment lol!! The locals are the best way to see the best places anywhere you go it seems. Aren't bison majestic?

They are so so majestic, and so soulful in their movement and eyes

What an amazing adventure (in more ways than one: the world can be such a small place) and the shots are beautiful.

I’ve always secretly wanted to explore the Badlands. Maybe someday (I’m not likely to travel back to my homeland anytime soon…). In the meantime, your images redouble my interest in a visit.

It’s so cool you had a great guide to take you around and provide backstories.

I hope you get to go soon enough! It really is a very special place. thank you for the kind words, as always :)

How far away from the Bison were you? They are amazing subjects!

the closest I got was probably about 20 feet, which I do not recommend and was not the plan (but they moved closer to me that I had anticipated), and I was standing next to the car in an open door so I could have ducked in had I needed to
