Images From The Road

Note: For the next two weeks or so, I will be on somewhat of a photo-safari to Colorado, New Mexico and Jackson, Wyoming. The blog articles will be detailing the images I make and descriptions of how they were made.

Images From The Road

by William Lulow

The one thing about touring with a camera is that you never know what you will encounter from day to day. Sometimes the weather doesn’t cooperate (like on this part of our current trip). Every day, so far, has been rainy and cool. No blue skies anywhere. This trip I intended to revisit some places in Colorado, where I lived quite a while ago, to see how things have changed, but, as I mentioned, when you’re just passing through, you simply can’t wait for conditions to change or, in this case for the weather to improve.

Here are a couple of images I have made so far. They suffer from a lack of post-production editing, so I will re-publish them in the future side by side with the original ones I made many years ago:

This is a cropped  view of the Denver Art Museum, a building that I photographed first in 1971. Today, it has seen some new additions which have made it a spectacular venue. There was a photography exhibit of works by Georgia O’Keefe. When I first photographed this building, it refused to show photographs as an art form! Here is one of the additions:

Traveling West a bit, this is a church I photographed back in the 1970s. It was built in 1874 and today it is being used partly as a school:

Same church, photographed in 1971.

Again, I will re-publish some of these with the ones I shot all those years ago, at a later date.

Here are a couple more images:

So, as I am revisiting some parts of Colorado I have been before, these are kind of raw images that I will work on when I am back at the studio with all the editing tools at my disposal.

More to come.
