High Mountain Musing

About Gin Getz

Please see my new website at:  GinGetz.com.  Not a very creative name, but easy to remember.  I’m finally getting my own website together which will continue long after I leave this mountain.  I hope you’ll join me there and continue on the journey with me.

I began studying literature and photography 25 years ago at NYU.  Long ago and far away.  Everyone starts somewhere. And where I’ve been, where I have lived, has made me who and what I am today.  Coast to coast and over seas.  My eyes have opened and being alone on a quiet, wild mountain suits me well right now.  Where I am going… well, that’s an ongoing story. It is a story about finding home.

My work is inspired by this wild, remote and natural world in which I live year round. In addition to running our seasonal, off-grid guest ranch, I keep busy raising and training horses, baking and gardening, and home schooling our son.

My essays and photography have been featured in each issue of Creede Magazine for the past several years, as well as providing photography annually for the Creede Calendar. Other work (poetry, photography, and articles) has appeared in Horse & Rider Magazine, Willow Creek Journal, and Colorado Snow Scoop, among other small, local publications.  I have recently completed my first full length manuscript currently in the hands of my editor.

I cannot say who I am without mentioning my family and the wild world I live in. 

It is the relationship of these parts that makes me whole but ever changing.
