Landscapes


This series of photos were done as a project for a class. I have lived in Colorado for almost nine years and have done very little photography of the land. While much of Southern Colorado is high prairie it can still be beautiful. A short drive from Pueblo, Colorado can put you in the foothills and into the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. I was hoping to capture the beauty of Southern Colorado in Black and White, as a kind of homage to the great Ansel Adams.
