About the Artist
Tyler Schlitt's passion for photography started when he got his first camera as a gift; he then quickly fell in love with storm chasing and photographing storm scapes.
He is currently working on finishing up his spring, summer and fall review video of the year. In the last year, he photographed the Milky Way and meteors over Elephant Rocks. More recently, he has been working on fall colors and sunsets; he will photograph another meteor shower in December.
Schlitt travels two hours to spend time at Elephant Rocks. He says there's always something new and unique about the rocks every time he visits. He enjoys being at the park right around sunset to enjoy the peace and watch as the sun sets for the day.
The museum will have Schlitt’s series of photographs highlighting the unmatched beauty of the geological wonder that is Elephant Rocks State Park. To view examples of Schlitt’s spectacular work, visit tylerschlitt.com. For more information about this event, call 573-546-3454.
