Steve Wedderburn is a concrete construction worker for Knife River and an amateur photographer. His photograph of Hyalite Canyon displayed on this months cover was selected from photos submitted for Bozeman Magazine’s What is Bozeman photo contest.

In his spare time Steve hikes and backpacks, giving him many great photo opportunities. His photography bucket list includes photographing a Grizzly Bear, “from a distance” of course! He has backpacked a good portion of the Pacific Crest Trail and the John Muir trail in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. He intends to keep on backpacking, hiking and taking pictures till he can’t “get up there anymore.”

Having moved to Bozeman from California two years ago Steve has fallen in love with the mountains and the people. “Everyone is so friendly!” says Steve. He would love to turn his passions for the outdoors and photography into a full time job, “It’s what I love to do!”
