Purchase options and add-ons

John Fielder is Colorado's preeminent nature photographer. Colorado Black on White is his 50th Colorado book. In the mold of Colorado's best-selling book of all time, Colorado 1870-2000, Fielder represents his state exclusively in black and white. He edited 230 color images from his life's work in Colorado over the past 40 years, and rendered each in blacks, whites, and subtle tones of gray. Without the distraction of color, the viewer engages the shapes, textures, lines, and edges of this most scenic of states as never before.

Divided into eight chapters, Fielder spares no subject endemic to his adopted state. From dramatic mountain reflections and wildlife galore, to 19th century mine building facades and ancestral Puebloan ruins, nothing has been left out ... except the color! Fielder has written captions for each of the 230 images in the book. You will hear stories of his life on the wilderness trail, learn Colorado's fascinating history, get tips on how to make your own outstanding photographs, and receive specific directions to some of the state s most beautiful locales. Fielder holds nothing back.

Presented with a padded faux leather gray cover, matte silver foil stamping, and tipped in cover photo, this book will enhance the most stylish of coffee tables.

John Fielder has done it again! "Colorado Black on White" is a stunning collection of images from the most beautiful place on Earth. We own a number of Fielder’s books and this one might be my favorite. In addition to hundreds of breathtaking images, the book also serves as an instructional guide filled with location details, photography tips, and insightful reflections from the field. "Colorado Black on White" is a “must-have” for your coffee table.

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing new view of the Colorado landscape
Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2018
I have several of John Fielder's books on landscape photography and instructional how to's on how to improve your photographic skills. This most recent book "Colorado: Black on White" is a divergence from any of his previous work because he has tackled the difficult task of portraying Colorful Colorado in a whole new way, as a World of monochromatic renderings devoid of all color.

I learned a long time ago from a talk with an Ansel Adams' assistant, Bob Kolbrener, that black and white photography gives you more freedom than color to interpret the World in a more personal way, as how you yourself sees it in your own "mind's eye". Given this artistic freedom, in this book John has succeeded in presenting Colorado in a whole new light and he shares his own personal vision of the state. I have to say it is refreshing to see a whole new take on the place I have lived in for over 34 years.

Throughout the book John takes you on a personal journey of his over 4 decades of photographing every corner of Colorado. There are over 220 images he has captured and with most of the them, he shares what made each one of them special in his mind and worthy of being photographed.

In one of the first images in the book, John talks about an unlikely encounter with a mountain billy goat which he says was the "most remarkable wildlife experience of my life". It is a touching encounter in the high mountain tundra, where he spent time after making the photograph, just laying down within 18 inches of the billy goat and in a peaceful one-sided dialog over the next 30 minutes, got to ask him "Billy" about his life in the wilderness. One can only imagine what it was like to experience that truly moving moment between man and nature and leaving with a whole new understanding of the remarkable and precious world around all of us.

John also shares some of his legendary mountaineering endeavors to "get the shot". He has traveled deep into the backcountry of the Colorado wilderness with the aid of llamas, Sherpas, rafts and just his own two feet, sometimes carrying 60 pounds of photographic gear in addition to essential backpacking equipment. If you have ever gone to his legendary slide show presentations, he more than once has talked about some of his backcountry excursions that sometimes went awry and says that if he was a cat, he would surely be on his 7th or eighth life by now.

He also shares tips on how to get the best photographs by suggesting camera settings, compositional ideas and actual locations of where he captured the shots. He has other books, "The Best of Colorado", where he goes into more detail and actually shows maps of the locations so others can experience the same locations with their own photography.

I have to commend John on a job well done in presenting Colorado in a whole new light. In a state that got its name in reference to all of the color it presents, this book has given me a whole new perspective and appreciation for the place I call home...
