Our next meeting of PODS will feature a book signing and presentation by David K. Langford and Rusty Yates. This special event is Thursday, Feb 28, 6:30pm at Holy Spirit Episcopal Church (Parish Hall) located at 301 Hays Country Acres Rd in Dripping Springs. Meetings are free and open to the public- all ages are welcome.
David and Rusty collaborated to shoot and document the images for the book Seasons at Selah: The Legacy of Bamberger Ranch Preserve. The book celebrates what 50 years of land rehabilitation and conservation can accomplish.
In 1969, J. David Bamberger bought what he described as “the sorriest piece of land” in the Texas Hill Country for the specific purpose of restoring the degraded landscape. Today, Selah, Bamberger Ranch Preserve is one of the largest habitat restoration projects in the state—5,500 acres—and serves as a model for land conservation and environmental education.
Seasons at Selah: The Legacy of Bamberger Ranch Preserve chronicles Bamberger’s dedication to ethical land stewardship and conservation education through stunning photographs of the land, plants, and wildlife he has devoted his time and resources to protect. Photographers Rusty Yates and David K. Langford capture each season at Selah and offer an intimate glimpse into the day-to-day management and operations of the ranch as well as some of the challenges it faces.
RUSTY YATES is a former featured photographer in Texas Highways and Texas Parks and Wildlife Magazine. His work is held in private collections throughout the United States and has appeared in numerous publications, exhibits, and galleries. He lives in Houston, Texas.
DAVID K. LANGFORD owns and operates Western Photography Company, and is published and exhibited worldwide. He is the author of Fog at Hillingdon and co-author of Hillingdon Ranch: Four Seasons, Six Generations, both published by Texas A&M University Press. After more than 30 years serving in the leadership of Texas Wildlife Association, including as CEO, Langford and his wife Myrna now live on their family’s seven-generation ranch near Comfort, Texas.
