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 56, Logan Pass opens

26/June/2009

So Logan Pass opened for vehicle traffic yesterday and I got up there a little late (about 6 p.m.) and stayed until dark. I expected the place to be a zoo, but there were few people up there and fewer still as the light faded. In fact, I had the entire Hidden Lake overlook to myself, which is a little weird, because there's almost always someone there. I took several nice panoramic shots, but the one I keep coming back to is this VW bug in the parking lot. It was the last car in the lot, save for my truck. Logan Pass can be a surreal place.
