Aspens, Northern New Mexico, 1958
"I made this photograph . . . on a crisp autumn day in the mountains north of Santa Fe. . . . I [was] driving on the beautiful highway near the crest of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, and . . . came across a stand of young aspen trees in mellow gold. I immediately knew that there were wonderful images to be made in the area. . . . In the shadow of the mountains, the light was cool and quiet and no wind was stirring. The aspen trunks were slightly greenish and the leaves were a vibrant yellow. The forest floor was covered with a tangle of russet shrubs. It was very quiet and still and visually soft. . . . [Aspens] is exceedingly popular at all levels of appreciation. I do not consider it [a] ‘pretty’ scene; for me it is cool and aloof and rather stately. . . . I cannot demand that anyone receive from the image just what was in my visualization at the time of exposure. I believe that if I am able to express what I saw and felt, the image will contain qualities that may provide a basis for imaginative response by the viewer.”
