About
Pete Myers is a fine art photographer known for his compelling studies of the American West. His photographs explore how nature has shaped the lives of those who came to live in the region—people who lived with the land, not merely on it. Myers’ work transcends conventional norms through its use of complex abstraction in composition, revealing the majestic grandeur of the West’s landscapes, settlements, and ruins as artistic visions rather than literal representations.
Myers began learning digital image processing at NASA, during the very early days of its development. He started his consulting career there at just 16, working in electrical and bio-electrical engineering. Some of his work flew in space; some of it can still be seen from space.
In 1995, he invented the audio component of virtual reality while at a Silicon Valley startup he founded. That technology was later sold to a major corporation and is protected under U.S. Patent #4817149.
In 2002, Myers pioneered digital monochrome photography with the unique Kodak DCS 760m camera system. His bold and enduring portfolio—showcased on this website—helped pave the way for the commercial development of digital monochrome cameras, a market that wouldn’t emerge until a decade later.
He began his fine art photography career shortly after the release of Photoshop 2 and now has over thirty years of experience in the field. For Myers, the real challenge is not technological—it’s in the simple, evocative storytelling that conveys what it feels like to be in the American West.
