ON THE COVER A church sits on the prairie of the Rosebud Reservation. Greg Latza ‘93 is a freelance editorial and corporate photographer located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He travels extensively throughout the country for a variety of clients, but his first love is documenting South Dakota and the great people who live here. Armed with Nikon digital cameras, his trusty Mac laptop and a truckload of indoor and outdoor lighting gear, Latza’s images offer a fresh viewpoint to everyday images.
Correction: in the last issue of STATE, the images of rodeo brothers Tyler and Owen Fagerhaug were provided by Cowboy Images, www.CowboyImages.net.
