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 46, The Sun Road

16/June/2009

This week I've decided to bike the Sun Road for a few days, since it's expected to completely open to car traffic soon. Once that happens, Glacier becomes a bit of a zoo. Folks are pleasant enough, but I must admit, I enjoy my solitude. Here, Heaven's Peak is bathed in the evening light. It's a rare day when you can stand on the road and view this sight all alone.
