| The historic images of early west photographer William Henry Jackson capture a Colorado landscape both pristine and already dramatically affected by the onslaught on western civilization. Standing exactly where Jackson stood and pointing his own camera in precisely the same direction, John Fielder has rephotographed Jackson's Colorado images to capture the often startling change that has occurred over the last century. The result is both breathtaking and stark, hopeful and disquieting. Jackson's and Fielder's photography is accompanied by thoughtful and provocative essays by respected experts in the environmental field: Roderick Nash, America's foremost wilderness historian and author of Wilderness and the American Mind; Ed Marston, journalist and publisher of High Country News; and Eric Paddock, Curator of Photography at the Colorado Historical Society. John Fielder describes the profound experience of traveling the state and seeing the landscape from Jackson's perspective and reflects upon changes of the last 130 years. Ed Marston is the publisher of High Country News, a regional newspaper covering public land and natural resources in the western United States. He holds a B.S. in experimental physics from the State of University of New York at Stony Brook. Prior to publishing High Country News, Ed and his wife Betsy founded the North Fork Country Times (1975) and the Western Colorado Report (1982). Marston has written or edited three books: The Dynamic Environment, Western Water Made Simple and Reopening the Western Frontier. Marston and his family have lived in Paonia, Colorado since 1974. John Fielder is a nationally renowned nature photographer, publisher and preservationist. He is the photographer of 30 exhibit format and guidebooks, most about his home state of Colorado. An original governor-appointed member of the Board of Great Outdoors Colorado, Fielder's photography has influenced people and legislation earning him awards from many conservation groups, including the Sierra Club's Ansel Adams Award. He teaches photography to adults and children and speaks to thousands of people each year rallying support for land-use and environmental issues. He lives with his family in Greenwood Village, Colorado. | |||||||||||||||||||||
