Your Bio

William Riggles Web Site
I grew up in South Florida, and moved to New Mexico in 1974 after high school.

I worked surveying, oilfield and landscaping before I joined the Smokey Bear Hotshots, an elite firefighting crew with the U.S. Forest Service. (1978-1989)

I was a professional photographer from 1989 - 2003, worked fire from then until 2009. Now I am back to display my life's work in photography. Most photos are watermarked very small, and are downloadable for personal use. For publishing purposes, contact me or agree to the SmugMug contract.
