Portraits of Influence: Women Who Shaped Wyoming and the West with Lindsay Linton Buk

Women Shaping the West: Wyoming Stories with Lindsay Linton Buck | Silver Disobedience Podcast In this Silver Disobedience© Perception Dynamics™ podcast episode Dian Griesel interviews photographer and author Lindsay Linton Buk about her book, Women Shaping the West: Stories from Wyoming, inspired in part by renewed interest in Western history through shows like Yellowstone. Buk describes Wyoming’s vast, rural landscape and how its isolation motivated her to create a connective project documenting women’s lives through portraits, writing, a traveling art show and more. She shares her background as a fifth-generation Wyomingite, her years in New York and LA, and the path back to Jackson where she built a portrait business and began the project in 2016. Buk explains how she selected 25 women across five chapters, profiles several subjects, discusses shooting medium format film, fundraising through patrons and nonprofit fiscal sponsors, mounting a touring exhibit starting in 2019, and completing the book after navigating early motherhood challenges.
