Description
The rugged Chiricahua mountains in Southern Arizona are as bleak looking as they are hard to travel to. Traveling 240 miles south of Tuscon you travel first into New Mexico and then back into Arizona to arrive at the park headquarters. When the Apache leader Cochise was seeking a hide out from the US Calvaary he rode on horseback into these mountains.
This photo was originally shot on color slide film and then was scanned in as black and white. The color versions were recently recovered. I know that I shot this with my Minolta 7000i film camera and that I was using Fuji Velvia film (ISO 50). The other settings were not recorded on the film and I did not write down my settings at that time in my photographic journey.
This black and white version shows the stark carved volcanic rocks that the area was known for-forlorn and forbidding, a perfect place to hide from authorities when your people were on the run as the Apaches were in the last of the Indian wars.
