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 65, A woodland visit

08/July/2009

Today was the first day of a backcountry traverse through the heart of Glacier, from Park Creek to Lake Isabel and then up and over Two Medicine Pass and then to Two Medicine proper. While sitting in the woods taking a drink of water, a pine marten, hunting on the forest floor, almost walked to my feet. Usually you can let out a little bark, like a dog, and they'll scoot up a tree. But when I barked at this one it ran like no tomorrow. Sigh.
