Willetta Crowe is a photographer documenting rural North Texas and her travels. Her work celebrates nature, community, family and a disappearing history of the land.

 

As a child, she focused her Kodak Instamatic on her family, school mates and pets. In high school she graduated to popular single-lens reflex cameras of the day as a yearbook and newspaper photographer. 

 

She developed her eye for visual storytelling through trial and error, workshops and continuing education classes, and her careers in journalism and in the classroom. Today she looks for beauty in the ordinary and in fleeting moments. She’s known in the area as a roadside photographer. Indeed, it’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time!
