Duane McGarva Biography Page


Duane was born and raised on a cattle ranch near Likely, California. Because he was horseback among the cattle so much, he started taking pictures of most anything. He received a pocket sized 35mm. point and shoot camera and as they say, the rest is history! Duane loves the outdoors, the cattle, the wildlife....and his pictures capture that quality.


The remote area we live in provides the opportunity to photograph nearly-lost art of feeding cattle with teams of horses, or driving a large bunch of cows and calves down a main highway or country road, or enjoying watching your dog cool off while the horses drink, undisturbed.
Duane decided to leave the ranch some years ago, and now devotes most of his time to his beloved hobby that has now become a growing business.

We are pleased to offer some of his pictures for you to look at online, and invite you to come and visit. Then you can see the country Duane photographs, as well as his gallery with many, many more pictures to enjoy.
