Landscape photographer Dawn Kish is using a camera that belonged to “Glen Canyon's Ansel Adams” to document a changing Lake Powell.
At the end of a scorching afternoon in early June, just as the sun dipped below the rolling Navajo sandstone cliffs that surround Lake Powell, photographer Dawn Kish set up a tripod.
The scene felt anachronistic, especially as electronic music blared from a party on the top deck of a nearby houseboat. Kish would have to wait until she returned to her home in Flagstaff, Ariz., before she could see how the image turned out, and with a cost of over $400 to make a print, she chose her shots with care.
“I was bitten by the canyon bug,” Nichols wrote in his 1999 book, “Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World,” which was published months before his death. The trio made trips nearly every year until the dam was completed. Many of the roughly 100 side canyons that would soon be flooded had not yet been named on official United States maps, and “We Three” set about changing that, giving names to at least 25 side canyons that persist to this day, including Dangling Rope, Ribbon, Cathedral canyons.
She considers “Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World” to be the finest photographic documentation of the most beautiful canyon on the Colorado River.Kish was offered Nichols’ 1950s-era camera several years ago by his friend and printer, Richard Jackson, but initially declined to take it.But when Lake Powell’s level plummeted last year after a near-record-low runoff, Kish saw there was an opportunity to carry on an inversion of Nichols’ project.
Kish has taken numerous trips on Lake Powell since, producing a series of stunning black-and-white photos that show what Glen Canyon looks like after 22 years of climate change-linked drought.
