This box is truly one of a kind. Every image was taken on ranches in Montana from April through June of 2026. I have spent years photographing on working ranches, and The Rangelands is my way of sharing just how wild and important these places are to preserving a way of life and our connection to a place that is so quickly vanishing.

This box represents what can be seen in these vast, seemingly empty landscapes when we take the time to step out into them.

One of the fastest-declining ecosystems in North America has been and remains its grasslands and prairies. The images and notes in the journal offer a rare glimpse into the quiet parts of these places—places that are driven through far more often than they are observed in person.

Inside the box you’ll find a journal with my notes and images from three months spent photographing two ranches; two historical artifacts, including a look into the life of one of the great naturalists and photographers of the American West, Evelyn Cameron, during the settlement of the frontier; two postcards featuring images from the same ranches in the journal; one print on fine art paper; two informational cards related to the deep beauty of the Great Northern Plains; and other included surprises.

Everything is beautifully hand-wrapped in paper, in colors inspired by the sage and two-track roads of these ranches.

Buy this as a gift to yourself and be transported to coyote dens, thunderheads, and the light and life of spring on the Great Northern Plains prairie.

It also makes a great gift for someone you love—send them off on a journey into the big, wild, wide-open country of Montana’s plains from their favorite morning coffee perch.

The journal can also be a great read with a kid for parents looking to bring a little more prairie into their lives—and to help them understand that these are also the places where our food comes from.

I hope you enjoy!

With gratitude,
Alex
