4. Limited Edition Hand-Signed, Hand-Scretched Canvas Prints

Legendary photographer David R. Stoecklein was one of the most sought-after photographers in the business; he was known as the “Photographer of the American West” and was named “Best Living Photographer” by True West magazine on more than one occasion. David launched his career taking lifestyle shots of skiing, fishing, hiking and biking before he turned his lens on the ranches he was surrounded by, and thus began his life-long quest to document the Spirit of the West. David went on to become one of the accomplished master photographers in Canon’s “Explorers of Light” and was regarded as one of the best photographers as well as one of the great preservers of the western way of life. Without a doubt, the most valuable pieces the Stoecklein Collection now offers are the remaining hand signed prints by David. After David’s passing in November of 2014, his wife and sons have decided to carry on his legacy by continuing to share his photographs with the world through his collection of photography products.
