Photographer:  Jon Cone
Title:DSCN0211
Year: 2000

Part of the Banff Series made in 2000 with a Nikon Coolpix 990 camera. 2048 x 1536 pixels created an abundance of resolution for small prints. The twisting viewfinder permitted the camera to be held and imaged with like a twin-lens reflex. There was an information palette that could be used in order to make observations concerning exposure and dynamic range.

“My choice as a photographer has always been to print small images that can be viewed and held in one’s attunement. As a result, I’ve been able to shoot with inexpensive cameras with small megapixel capabilities. I am more apt to be concerned with its jpg characteristics and how closely that distortion mimics film grain. This little Nikon was my favorite camera for years. Banff in August of 2000 was a playground in grayscale. Was one of the first Augusts that anyone there could remember snow. We experienced incredible weather that made for perfect Piezography imaging.”
