Meinzer is a photographer from Benjamin, Texas.[1] In a review of 'Texas Lost', The Dallas Morning News said Meinzer "just might be the best nature photographer in Texas.[2] He has had more than 250 magazine cover photos published.[3] He also has 17 photography books published.[3] George W. Bush named him state photographer of Texas in 1997.[3] As of 1997, Meinzer taught photography at Texas Tech and hunted coyotes and bobcats in the winter months.[3] Meizner's photos illustrate Texas Past: Enduring Legacy (Texas Parks and Wildlife Press) written by Andrew Sansom.[4]
