Wandering Back Roads of the West

A collection of stills and motion that reveal the quiet beauty of remote places — where light, space, and solitude shape every frame.

About Jack's Photography

You will find many images of Bybee’s that reveal the enormity of the West; the arid expanses; the vast distances, the love of Nature, Rocky Mountain Spring blooms. Contrasting the subtle gentleness with the harshness of fallen or dead trees and tree stumps. Weird image? Images of the subtle romance of Spring blooms of seemingly countless Rocky Mountain wildflowers, while, the gentle, delicate and calming beauty of Spring flowers is contrasted with the strange attraction of resilience of the harshness of dead trees, tree stumps, and strangely, wooden fences. Bybee enjoys using technology and his Panasonic DSL, to easily switch from colour to monochrome of the same image.

Nature Video Series

You are drawn into the Wandering Back Roads Nature Video series of the vast, isolated and rugged terrain of the West that you will find fascinating, and that Jack finds so appealing. The videos are edited to highlight for you the isolation and distances of many of Nature’s off-the-beaten-track videos that Bybee has produced. There are a large number still to be edited – and further shoots and production lies not far off in 2026 (!) It is with video production that Bybee feels he has found his filming and directing talent as an environmental videographer.
Hosted on YouTube.com videos of Cave Creek with the soaring Cathedral Peak behind, the hoodos (standing rocks) of the Chiricahua; the vast Wyoming grasslands, The North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Yellowstone’s own Grand Canyon… and so many more videos waiting in the digital “clipping room” to slip into the the video ‘Final Edit’ pipeline, and to be placed on the RELEASE Calendar.
Each photograph and video in this collection is part of an ongoing journey — one that celebrates nature’s raw presence and quiet power.
Follow along as new images and clips are added from future travels through the back roads of the West.
