Something We Were Never Meant to See

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, 1941. Photograph by Marion Post Wolcott. [Library of Congress]

 
I wrote my new book, Compliments of Hamilton and Sargent: A Story of Mystery and Tragedy on the Gilded Age Frontier, because of a photograph my mother found in her parents’ house after my grandmother died. 

... Thus began my journey down the rabbit hole and into the den of other people’s secrets that became the setting for my book. The secrets I uncovered soon involved more than just murder, suicide, baby-selling, and a founding father’s family. They also involved bigamy, blackmail, debt, rape, incest, guillotining, corpse-skinning, child abuse, mental illness, and (not to be outdone by any of that) elk-poaching.

Trashy Geysers (i am so pissed)




Pretty much ever since Yellowstone National Park's geysers and pools were first discovered, people have been throwing stuff into them.

[But of course humans just can’t have nice things, and pretty much ever since Yellowstone’s one-of-a-kind geysers and pools were first discovered, people have been throwing shit into them.]

Storm Show Studios

Readers’ Choice:
Best Filmmaker:
Darrell Miller (that guy above)



After four decades on the planet and 17 years of filmmaking, Darrell Miller’s love for Jackson still shines through. Miller combined his efforts as Storm Show Studios with Ryan Halverson’s Full Room Productions in 2011 to inject new life into his projects. The two are producing homegrown ski films featuring local riders ripping it in the Tetons and beyond. Unlike many movie crews who close areas and let the world know when they are filming, Darrell (if you can actually spot him) may be found on his island of powder stashes with cameras as small as coffee cups. This low impact lurking may go unnoticed by skiers nearby, but when autumn comes along and the films are unleashed, the town speaks; people arrive in droves for D. Mill debuts. Beneath every action packed second of these films is the knowledge that these powder feats were all earned. The crew sweats their own boot pack and makes their own judgments without the help of guides. Darrell’s films continue to provide a certain level of realism that is often lost in modern day ski films. The countless hours spent producing these segments enhances the realism. Darrell’s awe and dedication for Jackson and its mountain athletes is evidenced in every single flick.
