Colorado Black on White

John Fielder is Colorado's preeminent nature photographer. Colorado Black on White is his 50th Colorado book. In the mold of Colorado's best-selling book of all time, Colorado 1870-2000, Fielder represents his state exclusively in black and white. He edited 230 color images from his life's work in Colorado over the past 40 years, and rendered each in blacks, whites, and subtle tones of gray. Without the distraction of color, the viewer engages the shapes, textures, lines, and edges of this most scenic of states as never before.

Divided into eight chapters, Fielder spares no subject endemic to his adopted state. From dramatic mountain reflections and wildlife galore, to 19th century mine building facades and ancestral Puebloan ruins, nothing has been left out ... except the color! Fielder has written captions for each of the 230 images in the book. You will hear stories of his life on the wilderness trail, learn Colorado's fascinating history, get tips on how to make your own outstanding photographs, and receive specific directions to some of the state s most beautiful locales. Fielder holds nothing back.

Presented with a padded faux leather gray cover, matte silver foil stamping, and tipped in cover photo, this book will enhance the most stylish of coffee tables.
