Larger sizes and framing are available on request. In the late Seventies I began photographing the snow covered valleys of the High Sierras in California and Nevada, trekking in for weeks on end, lugging a large format camera, food, and the necessary gear to survive Winters in the mountains. The valleys had a unique stillness to them, and the snow blanketing them offered unusual patterns of light and shadow, mingled with trees and creeks. On some days fog so thick would appear that it was hard to see your feet, while other days would bring snowfall or bright sunshine. The prints I first made from my travels had a quiet majesty to them, rich with a serene beauty. Recently, I decided to have the negatives scanned and proceeded to make a new series of prints. I was stunned by the amount of additional detail the scans revealed that was missed in the previous conventional printing. What you see here are the results of the new prints from the scans.
