EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the breathtaking beauty of the Columbia River as it winds its way through the Dalles, Oregon. Taken in 1867 by renowned American photographer Carleton Watkins, this albumen silver print titled "Passage Dalles Columbia River" is a true masterpiece that showcases both Watkins' artistic vision and his technical prowess. In this image, we are transported to a time when nature's grandeur remained untouched by modern development. The mighty river dominates the foreground, its powerful currents cutting through rugged rock formations known as "the Dalles". The sheer magnitude of these geological wonders is humbling, reminding us of nature's raw power and unyielding force. Watkins expertly composes the scene with an eye for balance and harmony. The play of light on water creates mesmerizing reflections that dance across the surface, while wisps of clouds add depth to an expansive sky. Every detail is meticulously captured in stunning clarity, from the texture of rocks to delicate foliage along the riverbank. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art, we can almost hear the rush of water and feel a sense of awe at nature's majesty. Carleton Watkins invites us to contemplate our place within this vast landscape and reminds us that even in our ever-changing world, there are still places where time stands still – where rivers flow freely and mountains stand tall against an endless horizon.
