John has passed away. Here is a link to the collection of photographs that he donated earlier this year - https://www.historycolorado.org/john-fi ... collection
via Aspen times
"John Fielder, a prolific and prominent nature photographer who had lived in Summit County since 2006, died Friday, Aug. 11, after a prolonged struggle with pancreatic cancer, according to an email from his daughter, Katy Fielder. He was 73 years old.
During a career that spanned 40 years, Fielder worked to protect Colorado’s ranches, open space and wildlife. Over 50 books have been published depicting his Colorado photography. In January 2023, he donated his Colorado photography to History Colorado. The museum is the home of a collection of more than 7,000 photos distilled from 200,000 he made since 1973, and which are now available to the public for personal and commercial use.
“I have never felt that I ‘owned’ my photographs, only that I was borrowing these places to visit and record, and that I would give them back someday,” Fielder wrote in a column for the Summit Daily News talking about his donation."

The Colorado History Museum has small exhibition on the first floor called "John Fielder's Favorite Place". It is about some high altitude lakes in the San Juans.

Re: The John Fielder Collection
Correction: Fielder’s photographs were used in Jeri Norgren’s book “Colorado’s Highest” - the History of Naming the 14ers. Oil paintings were provided by Robert Wogrin. https://www.johnfielder.com/product/col ... this-fall/

Re: The John Fielder Collection
I have only been able to find the smaller, low resolution versions in the database. I guess I need to contact them for the larger ones unless I am missing these somewhere on the page?
