National Geographic Photo Camp
Photos from the 2023 and 2024 National Geographic Photo Camps in Wyoming
Curated by National Geographic Explorer Kirsten Elstner, My Community Means Home showcases the unique voices and perspectives of 40 young people across Wyoming as they embrace stories of their past, present, and future through photography and writing.
These stunning photos and powerful written works were created during two National Geographic Photo Camps in 2023 and 2024. National Geographic Photo Camp is an immersive week-long experience where young people receive instruction and guidance from world-class National Geographic Explorers and photographers, to build their skills and confidence, explore the world around them, and develop deep connections with each other and their community.
The exhibition highlights the landscapes, as well as the beauty and resilience of the people of Wyoming and the Wind River Reservation, seen through the lens of youth representing Latinx, Northern Arapaho, Eastern Shoshone, and other communities across the state.
My Community Means Home illuminates the power of the bonds within our own communities and leaves audiences with a sense of belonging.

Tony Foster: Watercolour Diaries from the Green River
Through May 4, 2025Artist Tony Foster became fascinated with the 50-million-year-old Green River fossilized fish when he first saw them in 1985. It was from these small special objects that he comprised the idea to make a group of artworks about the Green River. He began his project in 2018, creating a major painting of Steamboat Rock and the horseshoe bend from his vantage point up a 400 foot cliff. In the summer of 2019 he took a rafting trip from the Gates of Lodore to Split Rock, creating five smaller paintings en route. From these initial works he created this exhibition about, in Foster’s words: “this magnificent river.”
