Winter is Colorado's tranquil and seductive season, and outdoor photographer John Fielder has sought out the scenes that most evoke the subtle beauty of a Colorado winter. Capturing the sculptural shapes of snow blanketing trees and hillsides, and the stories told by tracks of recent visitors in the snow, Fielder shares the visual experience of this dazzling season. Outdoor writer M. John Fayhee provides the narrative to these alluring scenes, describing winter experiences of the backcountry traveler in the snow-covered Colorado mountains.

Another Fielder Masterpiece,
By Payton Mckinzey (Denver, Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Colorado Winter (Hardcover)
For those of us who spend most of our time in this beautiful state cooped up in an office, Fielder takes us on yet another journey through the magnificent backcountry--this time in the dead of winter. But John's photos--as in all of his pieces--reflect more than what mother nature has to offer. They are equally as much a relection of his experience in capturing an essence lacking in so many expensive "coffee" table books. It is apparent that the photos were miticulously chosen and are a labor of love. If you, like myself, don't get "out there" as much as you would like, A Colorado Winter is a spectucular way to immerse yourself in another world. You will not be disappointed.

SAD,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Colorado Winter (Hardcover)
As in Seasonal Affect Disorder. This book made me sad. Sad that Fielder has his own press and can publish anything HE feels is artistically passable and commercially viable. The best way to experience a colorado winter is to put this book down and get into the mountains. Fielder's colors can be beautiful, but he has little to no sense of composition. If you want a book for your coffee table, try Muench, or Goldsworthy, or Shinzo Maeda.
