Acclaimed Colorado nature photographer John Fielder died Friday after a long battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 73
Since 1973, Fielder worked to become a premier landscape photographer, snapping more than 200,000 photos of Colorado's varied ecosystems and terrains.
He donated his life's work to Colorado in January 2023. History Colorado is responsible for the collection, which includes more than 5,000 of Fielder's photographs from every county in the state. Fielder was also an environmentalist, fighting to protect the state’s natural wonders. His work helped influence the passing of laws that protect public lands in Colorado — such as Congress’ Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993 and the Great Outdoors Colorado Trust Fund — and beyond, History Colorado added.“I am saddened by the loss of John Fielder, who captured Colorado’s iconic beauty during his 50 years as a nature photographer.
