Stoecklein, is one of the nation’s most revered Western photographers. After shooting photos for some of the largest companies in the world, David Stoecklein decided to use his talent to show people what he had grown to respect and love: the culture of the American West. David’s fascination with the ranching heritage of the West led him to befriend, and subsequently photograph, the men and women still breathing life into the mythical figure of the cowboy. David’s passion for preserving the traditions and beliefs of the country’s honest, hard-working cowboys and cowgirls gradually earned him their respect. With that respect came an open invitation to share in their lives, and the great responsibility to honor their trust. David has captured the Spirit of the West for generations to come. He has preserved millions of images, produced many books, calendars, prints and cards. Now David’s son, Drew, is proud to continue to share his father’s legacy.
