Colorado photographer John Fielder, died August 11

LYONS – Colorado lost not only one of its greatest artists, but also an advocate for its most precious places, with the passing of landscape photographer John Fielder on Friday 11 August 2023.

What Ansel Adams did for California, John Fielder has done for Colorado over several decades of work. In a recent interview with Ryan Warner of Colorado Public Radio, Fielder estimated that he had photographed every visual landmark in the state. And in an act of generosity, indicative of his love for his home state, he recently donated all of his photographs to the State of Colorado curated by History Colorado. This unique body of work will become a state treasure as we move into the future accompanied by climate uncertainty.

Next month, when we have more space, Redstone will offer a retrospective appreciation of Fielder’s work. Not only how he searched out both secret and wellknown beauty spots, but how he used his eye for color and knowledge of the climate and landscape, to create images that are memorable and distinctive. Over time we will come to think of him as one of the great Coloradans.
