Hi guys,
This was in today's Summit Daily News. Anybody ever seen any of this photographer's work?

Breckenridge photographer O. Westerman headed to Denver on Jan. 9, 1900, with a fine collection of large photographs showing the beauty spots along the South Park Railroad. He will be showing his collection to general passenger agent Fisher with an aim to have them framed and hung in the corridors of the leading Eastern hotels. These photos, true to nature and finished with an artistic eye, would do more to advertise the grand scenery along the line than all the books and descriptive matter that could be written. Once placed where the traveling public can see them, the pictures could increase the tourist travel over the Park line tenfold.

— From the Jan. 13, 1900, edition of the Summit County Journal

Cheers,
