Description
I photographed this image of Sierra Blanca’s eastern elevation using a 28mm lens in order to emphasize the foreground while maintaining the majestic view of the mountain. Part of the Sangre de Christo Range of the Rocky Mountains, this mountain is one of the iconic 14,000 foot peaks in the Rockies. Just to the west of the moutnain is the Great Sand Dunes National Park, perhaps the most unexpected sight in the Rockies.
I have lived with this image in its color version for nearly 10 years. While I have thought about converting it to black and white I have not done so until now. From my film days, photographing with Kodak Plus X shooting at 200 ISO, I have always been drawn to the black and white image. Since photographs re-present the photographer's vision and, as such, are not the 'truth' of the object, it seems to me that black and white extends the mystery contained within the photograph itself; it reveals the essence of that which is being photographed without allowing distractions to disrupt the frozen moment contained within the re-presentation that is the photograph.
