About Barbara Magnuson & Larry Kimball
My husband, Larry Kimball & myself, Barbara Magnuson have been working together for over 20 years as professional nature and wildlife photographers based in Colorado. We've captured over 100,000 images from Canada to Costa Rica, from Yellowstone to the Florida Everglades doing what we love; communing with nature with cameras in hand.
Although we actually claim no specialties other than a serious passion for wilderness and wildlife; we photograph anything that catches our eyes in the great outdoors in order to share the wonders with others.
We've been fortunate in having been published world-wide in both books and magazines, calendars, greeting cards and posters, educational materials and field guides. Our last major project, A Field Guide to Plants of Costa Rica, published by Oxford University Press is now on sale at major bookstores here and abroad. The book is the culmination of field work which took the better part of 14 years throughout the great country of Costa Rica.
The photographs you see here are offered both as prints for the general public and as 35mm transparencies or digital stock images for professional photo buyers. And of course, you can always contact us directly by phone or email with questions and special requests.
