Larsh K. Bristol earned a BA in journalism from the University of Wyoming, worked in advertising and photojournalism before returning to his home state of Iowa. He was irresistibly drawn back to the streams, valleys, wooded hills, and people of the magnificent Mississippi River Valley. Years as a freelance photographer in the upper Midwest reaffirmed his belief that the light and landscape of Iowa were as magnificent as any in the United States. In August 2006, Larsh Bristol was killed in an automobile accident while traveling one of the rural northeastern Iowa river roads he so loved. |
