2008 Banff Mountain Photography Competition
Special Mention
Randall Levensaler: Bald Rock
“Growing up at the base of Sequoia National Park and spending countless hours exploring the Sierras has had a significant role in developing my eye and intuition as a photographer, and instilled in me a life-long passion for mountain regions throughout the world. This photograph of a glacial erratic and dwarf pine came into focus after I had thoroughly studied the surrounding landscape and started to eliminate other elements from the composition. After narrowing down the elements I arrived at the composition that best portrayed my feelings about the place. I tend to capture vignettes of a larger natural scene. I believe it provides the viewer with a deeper understanding and a more intimate connection to the landscape.”
