12" x 16" - Print on matte by Hooey Mountain
What am I seeing?
Look closely at the photographs offered here in the Skier Series by Hooey Mountain. The skiers are miniature antique toy skiers from the 1930's and 40's photographed high in the mountains .These tiny skiers draw you in and evoke a nostalgic feeling for the dawn of skiing. All images are taken on site in the mountains and not photoshopped to appear on location. A few people have asked where each of the skier pictures were shot, but I am intentionally coy about the locations. Instead, I hope they conjure in the viewer a broad feeling of joy associated with skiing without tying into a single experience. All images are printed with archival inks on professional photo paper.
