The Frontier Teton House

The Frontier Teton House
GRTE050113
September, 2005

Grand Teton National Park is littered with the ruins of old cabins and homesteads that were established in the 19th century by Americans moving west.  The park has left them as is, letting nature have her way with them for the most part (though there are a couple that are still inhabited and were grandfathered into the park when it was established).  They are interesting representations of how life used to be out here, and this image I feel encapsulates that rugged, western feel of the area.  I've been thinking about camping a lot recently, and missing those sharp peaks and wilderness.  Enjoy.
 

Technical notes:
Camera: NIkon N80
Film: Fuji Velvia 50
Lens: Nikon 28-105 mm f/3.5-4.5
Focal length: 105t mm
Exposure: 1/200   f/4.5 
Post-processing: Scanned on a Nikon Coolscan 5000, toning and curves adjustment in PS4 (the border edge is a bit much, but I couldn't find the original file in time to remove it, so you get a soft dropped shadow courtesy of late nights with PS4)
