The Colorado Rockies sparked John Fielder's twin passions—the outdoors and nature photography— early in his life. Born in 1950, he made his first Colorado pictures when he visited here as a junior high school student from Charlotte, North Carolina. He continued to explore and make snapshots in the late 1960s, when he rambled the San Juan Mountains as a summer geologist for the Colorado Fuel & iron Company. Fielder knew that no place but Colorado felt like home to him; after graduating from Duke University in 1972, he moved to Denver.
Just over a century after Jackson established his Denver studio, in 1981, thirty-one-year-old Fielder gave up his budding career as a department store executive to do what he loved best: wander the mountains of Colorado and photograph their dramatic beauty. The first six months of this new career seemed a little shaky to Fielder, but he produced a successful wall calendar, reinvested the proceeds in the next year's product, and watched his business grow. Since then, Fielder and his company, Westcliffe Publishers, Inc., have published over 300 books about Colorado and the West, including thirty seven monographs and guide books featuring Fielder's photographs.

A founding member of the board of Great Outdoors Colorado and the recipient of the Sierra Club's 1993 Ansel Adams Award, he lives in Denver. Fielder's photographs are alluring reminders of the splendor and grace of Colorado's outdoors. Alone or in books, they evoke an awe of nature and a wish that the places Fielder shows us might remain unchanged forever. It was in this spirit that Fielder walked in Jackson's footsteps.
