DAVE HAYDEN: LAKE PUEBLO STATE PARK: A SEASONAL RETROSPECTIVE

DAVE HAYDEN: LAKE PUEBLO STATE PARK: A SEASONAL RETROSPECTIVE | 1/18/22 – 2/19/22

Sangre de Cristo Arts Center's Photographer in Residence

Without shadows, light has no definition.

Every day Lake Pueblo State Park offers a different experience if you take the time to notice. As the sun travels across the sky, the shadows and highlights quietly change revealing previously unseen textures. Living nearby, I have the opportunity to visit the park daily and observe the changes that only exist for a moment, like a field full of sunflowers that has only revealed itself once in 10 years. As a photographer, I am compelled to witness and capture the beauty of these moments as they exist and will never be the same again.
