Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 a fragment of human ambition

a fragment of human ambition dropped into a landscape that doesn’t care about it

If I was going to stand there

I made this image while stranded on the dry lake bed after a heavy rain left the ground impassable for more than five days and my rig sunk in the mud

The rim feels raw and immediate

Mount Sneffels in Afternoon Light Size:40x60 a fragment of human ambitionMount Sneffels, Colorado This photograph was made in the afternoon while traveling through the San Juan Mountains between Ouray and Telluride. I wasnt chasing drama or waiting on a narrow window of light. I simply wanted to see how Mount Sneffels would hold up when treated plainly, with a longer lens and a single exposure. As Ive leaned more into traditional approaches, Ive found myself reaching for portrait length and telephoto lenses more often.
