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 97, The Roosevelt Ride

06/August/2009

Kate Roosevelt, great granddaughter of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, enjoys a ride in a 1927 Cadillac Touring Car on a tour of the Going-to-the-Sun Road. FDR visited the Park in 1934 and rode across the Sun Road, later giving an address to the nation from the Two Medicine chalets. This event marked the 75th anniversary of FDR's ride in three of the remaining touring cars and a 1925 White bus that carried journalists. More on the ride will be in the next issue of GPM.
