In early 2008, I began to make weekly excursions to a stream north of Boulder called Left Hand Creek. The name refers to a famous Arapahoe Indian, also known as Chief Niwot, whose spirit is said to look over this area.  The first of my ice shots were taken on Left Hand Creek when the stream was just beginning to freeze. I returned every few days to shoot the advancing freezing until by mid-March, I was walking on 18 inches of ice with the stream flowing beneath me. There was a clear sense of a Native American presence during these excursions.

 

Chaitanya's photographs are created with a printer that exposes light sensitive paper that is then run through a chemical process.  These are real photographs, not inkjet prints, resulting in prints that are faithful to the light of the original image.
