380 Miles from East to West: Celebrating 40 Years of Colorado Photography by John Fielder
John Fielder
7:00 – 8:30 pm MST
The state of Colorado has a diverse landscape that spans from the Great Plains to the Foothills of the Rockies, to the highest peaks along the Continental Divide and the Western Slope river canyons. In this special Explorer Series lecture, Colorado photographer John Fielder will guide guests through 66 million acres of Colorado scenery. You will get a personal Fielder tour of Colorado’s most beautiful private ranches, our most sublime public lands in both mountain and canyon country, as well as the best places we enjoy right in our own backyards. Historical perspectives from the Jackson/Fielder project, amazing stories, and glorious music will also be included.
John Fielder will be available for book signing before and after the talk. Books and calendars available for purchase. To celebrate his 40 years of photography, John has co-authored a book about his life as a nature photographer and environmentalist. From childhood roaming the forests of New England and North Carolina to raising his family in Colorado, you will learn how John’s life was changed forever by unforeseen circumstances.
