You'll see how Colorado's landscape has changed, through rephotography, during the substantive time that Colorado has been settled by nonnative people, not just as a function of natural processes, but also as a result of human impact. John Fielder searched the Colorado Historical Society's archives for Jackson's historical images of Colorado. He then went into the field to find the same locations and rephotographed them. Five hundred backpacking miles and 25,000 driving miles later, Fielder had rephotographed them all. From downtown Denver to Durango, the 108 photographic pairs within these pages portray a Colorado simultaneously changed for the better, for the worse, as well as unchanged in the wilder, more natural areas.
