Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 If I was going to

If I was going to stand there

a fragment of human ambition dropped into a landscape that doesn’t care about it

Prickly pear cactus anchors the foreground

Nothing dramatic or extreme

The pandemic had erased my job and the structure I had built my life around

Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 If I was going toMount Sneffels, Colorado This photograph was made in the afternoon while traveling through the San Juan Mountains between Ouray and Telluride. I wasnt chasing drama or waiting on a narrow window of light. I simply wanted to see how Mount Sneffels would hold up when treated plainly, with a longer lens and a single exposure. As Ive leaned more into traditional approaches, Ive found myself reaching for portrait length and telephoto lenses more often.
