Dr.
Beto Gutierrez
Dr. Beto became interested in photography
at a very young age. His pictures were mostly family
and sometimes scenic. Later he signed up for a nature
ad wildlife photography workshop and he has been
hooked since. His day time job is full time medicine
and nature photography has become a passion.
Three years ago an opportunity arose to purchase
a small ranch and his dream of owning a full time
photography workplace came to fruition.
He continues to photograph as time allows. His images
have been published a few times and he has done
well in several photography contests. He belongs
to the Rocky Mountain Outdoor Writers and Photographers
organization serving as president several years
ago. The members are amateur and professional photographers
and writers who have given him invaluable advice
and tutelage thru the years.
Him and his wife Clare, live in Edinburg, TX and
they will continue to share their ranch, Santa Clara,
with other nature and wildlife enthusiasts.
