I’m honored to have a hometown hero from Jackson, Wyoming, on this episode of the About Your Mother podcast. Lindsay Linton Buk is a photographer and storyteller originally from Powell, Wyoming. Her dream took her to New York and back, where she learned photography from the best in the industry before being called back home.

Lindsay and I sat down in person for this conversation about art, her roots, and how she forged a space for her creative career in The Cowboy State.

Lindsay’s book, Women Shaping the West, tells the story of 25 diverse women who make up the heartbeat of Wyoming. Listen in to learn about the process of bringing this project to life and what Lindsay learned from her subjects along the way.
