John Fielder moves to the Mountains
Renowned nature photographer, John Fielder, known for his epic nature shots, is moving to Breckenridge according to an article in the Summit Daily News by Leslie Brefeld.
Fielder will open his second gallery in a location called "The Photoshop" on Main Street in Breckenridge. The opening is scheduled for November 25th.
Fielder describes his photograhpy's uniqueness through the method he uses to shoot, all 65 pounds of a large-format camera. He carts the old-fashioned and heavy equipment to remote areas of Colorado's wildeness with the help of 4-5 sherpas who help carry supplies and help him keep comfortable in the sometimes hostile environment.
Speaking of the Eagles Nest Wilderness north of Silverthorne, Fielder says "Some of the things I've found in there are the most sublime, scenic things I've seen in my life anywhere on earth, much less Colorado".
He will present a slilde presentation of 80 of his works at the Silverthorne Pavillion, Tuesday, November 21, from 6 to 9 pm.
