Description
Badlands National Park, SD (Gelatin Silver B&W Photograph)
Sitting on the edge of the Pine Ridge Reservation within Badlands National Park, these two tipi’s stand as a constant reminder of those who first called this land home. Today, roughly one-third of this national park falls within this Oglala Lakota reservation. To honor the history of America’s first people, these traditional tipi’s sitting at the base of an ancient stand stone mountain were photographed in black and white using a 36″ long all-wooden Seneca Century bellows film camera manufactured in 1907. With this type of camera the photographer composes their photo while watching a large glass screen and while their body is draped in a dark cloth to make seeing the screen easier. The high quality black & white print of this photo is made using an elaborate 150 year “gelatin silver” darkroom process. (Photo 7905)
