WELL-KNOWN ORIGINAL PRINT BY JOHN AVAILABLE AT SPECIAL DISCOUNT PRICE ONLINE – NEGATIVE TO BE RETIRED AFTER THIS PRINTING As readers of this newsletter know, recently I have decided to retire a number of negatives in order to allow more time to work on new negatives, such as the new Limited Edition print announced in this same newsletter. This is the case with Boulders and Tree, Merced River. This image was included in my first book Quiet Light. This is a rare opportunity to purchase one of my well-known images from its final silver gelatin printing session. This print, shown below, is now available for order online. This 11x14" print is being offered for a limited time at the very special price of $800. The retail gallery price for this print is $1,000. After December 31, 2015 the price will increase to $2,000. The print is only being made in 11x14" size. To place a secure online order for this print follow this link The image below, Boulders and Tree, Merced River, was made at one of my favorite Yosemite locations – a quiet stretch of the Merced River a short distance downstream from Yosemite Valley proper. This section of the Merced, known to locals as Steamboat Bay, is a place I have always found interesting and inspiring in the many years I have been exploring and photographing Yosemite. This photograph was made following the conclusion of an annual week-long Yosemite photography workshop I co-instructed for many years with Bruce Barnbaum and Ray McSavaney. Every time I visit Yosemite I try to stop at this location to see how things have changed. I find revisiting areas, and truly getting to know them, often yields successful photographs. Such was the case the evening I made this image.
Boulders and Tree, Merced River Like many of my photographs, Boulders and Tree, Merced River, was made late in the day after the sun had dropped below the steep cliffs of the Merced River gorge. The soft, delicate light seemed to reveal an elegant sculptural quality to these massive granite boulders. I found an interesting contrast between the boulders and the small tree, which was adorned with fresh green leaves of spring. I used my 360mm Nikkor telephoto lens on my Linhof 4x5 for the one-minute exposure. A #11 green filter was used to lighten the single tree (which is a very large tree today!) from the dark oaks surrounding it. This silver gelatin, selenium toned, print is approximately 13-1/4 x 10", 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.
