George Van Meter began a serious journey into landscape photography following a workshop he attended in Kansas City, Missouri, in 1993. He was inspired by the work of a local professional photographer who conducted the workshop, and has since gone on to create a great body of work in his own right. George’s work includes photography of Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Washington, Oregon, and Utah.

Since moving to Yakima, Washington in 1996 his landscape work of the Washington Coast, Olympic Peninsula, Mount Rainier, Zion National Park, the Cowiche Canyon, and the Yakima River Canyon has been well received.
