My apologies for the sigil
watermark, in place to
preclude image piracy. These images are also Digimarc digitally
watermarked.
These images were taken from Colorado state highway 14, which is turns
off of US Highway 287 northwest of Fort Collins, CO and tracks
alongside of the river. You can
take
a sunrise drive with Google Maps. Notable sights are a
short
tunnel hacked by hand (before the days of pneumatic drilling
equipment, view from the other side
here)
and
a
narrow gorge
with stunning rock formation....all right alongside the road.

As always, my thanks and great appreciation of the art and artisanry of
Tom Hurley, Angel Lobos and Benjamin Pelaez of
Laumont Studios
of New York who scanned my original 8"x10" color film slides, then
cropped, color/tonal corrected the digital scan files and finally
printed them to my vision of what I saw.
They are all consumate artists in their own right.

When photographing the Cache La Poudre, water and rock, its
power filled my head with
the
grinding, furious, massive musical force of Moussourgsky's Hut of the Babi Yagi from his Pictures at an Exhibition
At first I used a ratty old (probably 100
years) wooden Gundlach, but it was too unstable and cranky.
Here's that camera, then the Sinar...and me "under the hood" focusing a
shot.
The Sinar is Swiss made and
very
fine. I am using Schneider wide-angle (210mm Angulon and 165mm
Super Angulon) and normal (300mm Symmar-S) lenses and a lovely Nikon
large format telephoto with focal lengths of 600/800/1200mm. At
the last focal length, the camera is a yard long from back to
front.
My apologies for the
watermark,
in place to preclude image piracy. These images are also Digimarc
digitally watermarked.

suitable for framing, printed in archival FujiFlex.
