Closeup image of a bison with snow on his face. I remember reading in Centennial by James Michener that bison evolved to swing their heads side to side to clear snow away from the prairie grasses, something that domesticated cows never did. Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Commerce City, Colorado.
Bison in the snow, part deux.

Two bookcases almost full of books. The books include titles about specific photographers, the history of photography, technical books on cameras, and book sets.

Bristlecone pine trees on the flank of Mt. Bross near Alma Colorado at an elevation of 11,700 feet. The image is rendered in black and white. The distant mountains have snow on them. The trees lean to the left (downslope) due to the prevailing wind. The name of this place is the Windy Ridge Bristlecone Scenic Area.
Bristlecone Pines, Colorado.

This is a composite of two images that I took in my sophomore year of college of my roommates girlfriend. The original images were likely captured on Tri-X 35 mm film. The images were then printed onto 4x5 film stock and processed to create ultra high-contrast images. I then sandwiched the images together in a pleasing composition and contact printed them onto paper. As a final step, I washed the print in red RIT dye.

Information from FindAGrave.com Nettie Keirstead Born 1876 in Joplin, Jasper County, Missouri, USA Died 4 Jun 1892 (aged 15–16), Park County, Colorado, USA Burial: Como Cemetery, Park County, Colorado, USA Nettie M. Nethery married Hazen W. Keirstead on 28 Feb 1892 in Webster, Park County, Colorado. She was the daughter of John Nethery, born 22 Jun 1826 in either Ireland or Scotland and died 14 Jun 1901 in the Hartman Sanatorium, Montrose County, Colorado, and Mary McLaren Nethery, born March 1829 in Glasgow, Scotland, and died 11 Dec 1901 in Leadville, Lake County, Colorado. Nettie had a twin sister, Minnie, and she was the younger sister of Sheriff Russell Nethery of Park County and later Elko County, Nevada. ------------- (A search for her husband showed the following. I am not sure this is the right person.) Hazen Willard Keirstead Born 12 Dec 1865, New Brunswick, Canada Died 19 Jul 1938 (aged 72), Presque Isle, Aroostook County, Maine, USA Burial, Johnson Cemetery, Presque Isle, Aroostook County, Maine, USA (The entry list two wives, neither of which is Nettie.)
A good photo tells a story ....
Meet Nettie M. (Nethery) Keirstead. What is her story? Why did she marry at age 16? What caused her death? I hope that her life was a happy one, but I have my doubts.
