Women’s contributions to ranching have been historically overlooked, but the latest rendition of the University of Wyoming’s Larsh Bristol Photojournalism Fellowship challenges these assumptions.
Shelby Sinclair, a UW student from Fort Collins, Colorado, was the recipient of the 2025 Bristol fellowship. She presented “Unseen Hands,” Feb. 13, in Room 506 of Coe Library. Her photos were displayed on the third floor of Coe Library through the end of February.
At the heart of Sinclair’s project is the story of Faith Hamlin and the transformation of the Little Jennie Ranch in Bondurant. As an agricultural communications major, Sinclair says her work is driven by a desire to connect people to the origins of their food.
