DENVER — Since 1973, John Fielder has worked to become a premier landscape photographer, snapping more than 200,000 photos of Colorado's varied ecosystems and terrains. And now, he has donated his life's work to Colorado.
Since Fielder began his photography career 50 years ago, he has found a niche in landscape photography, effectively exploring all of Colorado's 104,984 square miles, according to History Colorado.But his work has also helped influence the passing of laws that protect public lands in Colorado — such as Congress’ Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993 and the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund — and beyond, History Colorado added.
One series that will be shared is called"Colorado 1870-2000," and pairs photos taken by William Henry Jackson about 100 years ago with ones Fielder took from a similar spot in recent years, according to History Colorado. This compare-and-contrast design prompts the question,"Do we like the changes we see?"
Dawn DiPrince, History Colorado’s executive director and state historic preservation officer, said Fielder's donation is as"breathtaking" as the photographs.
