100 days in Glacier National Park

A photographer's journey

100 days In Glacier National Park

This blog chronicles photos of Glacier National Park over 100 consecutive days, starting on May 1, 2009 by Glacier Park Magazine editor Chris Peterson. When the project is complete, it will be a traveling show in 2010 to commemorate Glacier's Centennial. I'm using a mix of film and digital cameras, including an 8 by 10 field camera, a Kodak Pocket Vest camera, circa 1909, and a Speed Graphic, among others. The idea is to use the cameras that would have been used over the course of the Park's 100 years. Day-to-day work is done primarily with a Nikon digital camera, since I only process film about once a week due to time constraints (I have a regular job on top of this project).

Day 36, Jackson Creek

Finally had some success with the 8 by 10 camera. My friend Ed Gilliland, who loaned it to me, went out with me the other day. I was getting blank film — it was overexposed. He discovered I wasn't putting the film holder in all the way, which resulted in a huge light leak. So on Day 36, I went out and took two more pictures. This is one of them. The print is 35 inches wide.
