OXBOW BEND 63 © 2006Grand Teton National Park
When we first entered Grand Teton National Park, we drove by this location and were stunned by the beauty. I was determined to photograph the scene with my 12”x 20” view camera. I woke up at four in the morning and drove to this spot, navigating through the buffalo and moose traffic on the road, hoping the light would be just right. Once I found the best vantage point, I set up my camera, which is no small task! The camera, lenses, and three tripods weigh over 120 pounds, and it takes considerable time to set up for the perfect shot when using large-format film cameras. After several early mornings, I finally managed to capture this breathtaking scene.
