Many Texans are proud of their state. The people, the places, the ideals and hearts all come together in a magnitude of pride exhibited toward the Lone Star. For many reasons, some more obvious than others, Texas holds a special place in hearts of inhabitants and visitors alike. Texas State Photographer, Wyman Meinzer, is such a person, a native son, and a documentarian of what it means to be a proud Texan. I must admit that my Texas occupies that special niche in my soul known only to those who were born and reared within these recognizable borders. In this work, Inspiration Texas Style , we have chosen to ask a cross section of Texans to express their own feelings of what this state means to them. Some of these individuals are well known on the world stage while others are salt-of-the-earth beings. In a few cases, verities uttered long ago were from those not born in Texas but came later, their voices echoing a desire for inclusion beneath the title of Texans. By pairing each verbal offering to images collected here, we hope to focus on both the rich visual heritage that our state offers to the American theme and also to recognize a collection of personal prose whose authors possess a definite sense of place. This is Texas as defined from the hearts of Texans. – Wyman Meinzer

Inspiration Texas Style Absolutely great “coffee table” book. Great photos (scenes) that inspires one to travel the great State of Texas. Wish I had the monetary funds to visit many places in our great country. All states have something wonderful to show us. I’ll be looking for more books like this one.
Texas picture book While this book does contain some great pictures, I thought that it would somewhat larger. The dimensions of the book may have been described in the details, but it was something that I simply overlooked. Otherwise, it was great to flip through the pages to have a look at parts of the greatest state in the nation.
Inspiration Texas Style This is another in a long-line of outstanding books by Wyman. The photos are very sharp and provide a diverse look at Texas through the eyes of Wyman and several noted Texans. The book will inpsire the reader to give their own thoughts on what it means to be a Texan.
