I made this image during a light rain one early spring evening in the spectacular Dolores River Canyon in Southwestern Colorado. While driving along I rounded a bend and found an incredibly dense grove of aspen trees covering a hillside straight in front of me. The grove was some distance away, so I used the longest lens I had at the time - a 500mm Tele-Nikkor - on my trusty 4x5" Linhof Technika camera to make this image.

When I saw how the luminous white trunks filled the ground glass of my view camera, it seemed as if I was looking at a "sea" of aspen trees. There was a delicate glow on the aspen trunks that I hope is conveyed in this online reproduction of the original print. I used a number 23A red filter to darken the background foliage from the light trunks, and increased the contrast of the T-Max 100 film by giving N+1 development.

I liked this image so much that I included it in my first book,
Quiet Light: Fifteen Years of Photographs.

There are a limited number prints available at this special discounted price, so if your are interested, please act quickly.

My prints in this size normally retail in galleries for $900, so the savings over the retail price is significant.
This print is approximately 9.75x13", personally printed by me (as are all my prints), processed to current archival standards, signed, mounted, and matted to 16x20" on 100 percent rag museum board.

Prints will be shipped within ten days of the order date.

All prints are carefully prepared and packaged in specially designed protective shipping boxes, and shipped fully insured via UPS ground.
