Point and Shoot

Highway 550, Colorado

Limited Edition of 25 Museum Grade, Fine Art Prints.

This photograph is part of Tom's film series of images taken between 1984 and 2006. Each image in this series is available in Limited Edition Fine Art printings of no more than 25 in the various Museum-Grade formats.


Colorado Highway 550 from Durango to Ouray is one of the most scenic highways in the world. I took this image in 2004 or 2005 and that day was one of the most productive days I have ever had. I think I was just past Ouray when I noticed this buck deer standing on the side of the road in the trees. I pulled over to try to “shoot” it, but it ran about 100 yards down the road staying just inside the tree line. I drove down the road to try again, but it ran away again. I tried one last time driving down to it. This time when I pulled up it ran out into the middle of the field and stood looking at me. I quickly pointed, composed the picture and shot. When shooting an animal or subject that is so far away I always like following the rule of thirds, putting the subject close to one of the thirds in the frame. I love the layers of the ditches running through the field, the light yellows and greens in the grass and the fantastic cottonwood trees and hillside in the background. This is more of a landscape image than a wildlife image but it works for both!
