One day in 1996, on his way to see his then-girlfriend, now his wife, O’Rear pulled over and snapped Bliss Hill.
However, his iconic shot of Bliss Hill would eclipse his career at the prestigious wildlife magazine. O’Rear spent over twenty-five years shooting photography professionally, and two of his photographs made it on the cover of National Geographic while he took pictures for them. “I always had a camera with me”, he recalled.
