So who is this guy, Bruce Elliott?

I was born in Hackensack, New Jersey… a while ago. After a misspent youth and time in the US Air Force I went to Sam Houston State University in Huntsville, Texas to study art and photography.

I became a professional photographer at NASA and enjoyed documenting and experiencing history as it was happening, but I decided that I needed to branch out and went into freelancing in the Houston advertising world of Oil and Gas. Although I survived for three year, the fulfillment for which I was looking for in life was not acquired…

So… I took my portfolio up the east coast to Washington D.C and New York City to find work in the magazine biz. I talked with Time, Newsweek and National Geographic and was put on their list for use. I returned to Houston to find my neglected advertising clients had neglected me, hence- no business.

I took up crewing on sailboats and participating in regattas in the Gulf of Mexico. After enduring a particular nasty storm on the Gulf, I returned home to my Condo only to find that it had been broken into and all my photographic equipment had been stolen.

Returning to NASA with Ford Aerospace, I worked in the Mission Control Center making film products and eventually went back to school to study mathematics. Photography took a back burner in my life for about 15 years until moving to Colorado Springs in the early 90’s where I found the mountains and a renewed interest in my photography. I love hiking, mountain and rock climbing, camping and generally anything outdoors.

Now you probably know more about me than you care too.

This showing is mostly scenes of Colorado. I hope you enjoy the images as much as I have enjoyed taking them.

Thank You,

Bruce Elliott
