Mule Train Winds through Alabama Hills Outside Lone Pine, CA - Limited Edition 2 of 20 Photograph

First printed: 2016 This image was captured from muleback during an eight-hour ride that traversed the Alabama Hills west of Lone Pine, California, with the Sierra Nevada mountains just south of Mount Whitney in the background. To mark the L.A. Aqueduct's 100th anniversary, Metabolic Studio led a 100 mule team along its 233 mile route from the Owens Valley to Los Angeles. Bringing water to a growing metropolis, the entirely gravity-fed feat of civil engineering also deprived the Owens Valley of its agricultural potential and drained Owens Lake, creating the largest single source of particulate pollution in the United States. In recent years, the Los Angeles Department of Water & Power was required to undertake a massive restoration project to successfully abate the dust storms caused by the creation of Owens Dry Lake. Tension persists between the residents of the Owens Valley and the LADWP, which continues to control the valley's water through its ownership of a land area in the region larger than the City of Los Angeles itself.

There is an approximately 3" white border around the image area. Prints are manufactured in-house at Chungking Studio in Los Angeles Chinatown. Papers include Hahnemuhle Fine Art Museum Etching, Museo Silver Rag, and Moab Entrada Rag Natural, and are selected based on exhaustive tests to determine which material best suits the interpretation of each individual image. These museum-quality, 290-350 GSM-weight papers are exceptionally robust and render outstanding detail. After a successful print is inspected and approved, a protective seal is applied using a three-step process that increases moisture, dirt, fingerprint, and UV resistance; extending the already significant color-fastness of modern archival inks approximately 3x the length of untreated prints. Note: Image area is approximately 18x27" on 24x34" paper. Each print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
