About Jim Griggs:
Acquired my first 35mm camera my senior year in High School, worked for the college newspaper as a darkroom technician. Won a KINSA Competition and really took off trying to make money in photography. First attempt was photographing Go Kart racing. Made a whopping $400 for an afternoon of shooting and my real job was paying $830 a month! Worked for a studio in Texas doing weddings, portraits and commercial shoots. Started my own wedding and portrait business with as much commercial work as I could get. Met Boyd Norton in 1980 and attended one of his week long workshops in 1984. Joined Boyd as an assistant in 1985 at his workshops in Wyoming and Colorado. After 12 years we split up with me being too busy in my regular job and his involvement with international magazine assignments. Boyd and I rejoined and have been doing workshops together for the past 10 years at a ranch in Wyoming. I have done assignment work for the Nature Conservancy and have been published in numerous magazines, books, calendars, museums, etc. I have also been leading photo trips to Tanzania, the Galapagos Islands and Peru since 2001. I also worked for the local Convention and Visitors Bureau for three years on assignments for our community as well as several commercial jobs for local companies. I was also assistant to Jim Richardson of National Geographic during his assignment to photograph the Tallgrass Prairies of Kansas, lasting 8 months. Had the privilege of photographing with Art Wolfe, George Lepp, and many other leaders in the field of photography during our evening shoots at our local Maxwell Wildlife Refuge in Kansas.
