In 1900, the Union Pacific Railroad hired Stimson as a publicity photographer. Stimson was to photograph natural wonders, city scenes, farms and ranches, mining and irrigation projects, and anything else that might bring money to the newly rebuilt railroad.
In 1903, Stimson's reputation as a scenic photographer had so grown that the state of Wyoming commissioned him to provide five hundred Wyoming scenes for display at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition to be held in 1904 in St. Louis. He worked full time on the project for eight months, traveling the state, developing and printing the results. The prints were to be hand-colored, a skill that Stimson often employed before the advent of color film. At the fair, he was awarded a silver medal for his views of mining and machinery, and two more silver medals for two other displays.
