Gathered from over two decades of travel to photograph unique and inspiring landscapes, these color images and the places they represent are imbued with meaning not only to photographer Michael Farrell, but to many who see the land as a living entity.
From long before our contemporary geopolitical boundaries and placenames, these locations were important to the Otoe, Pawnee, Cheyenne, Arapaho, Lakota, and Ute peoples. Today they offer solitude, visual beauty, and the opportunity to contemplate the brevity of our existences measured against the seeming timelessness of the land.
Michael has photographed these scenes using the challenging high craft 8×10 inch film camera process. Unequalled for clarity, detail and subtle rendering of light and shadow, the images seen here are museum quality archival prints.
