John Buckley: Recently Added Galleries and Collections

Jackson Hole (and Yellowstone)

(John Buckley) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:03:00 GMT

A friend of mine once said it's hard to take a bad photo in Jackson Hole. That may be true, but with all of the great photographers who live there, or who have passed through, it's hard to take a photo that hasn't been taken better by someone before you. This gallery comprises photos taken over the past five or six years, in different seasons, with different cameras (mostly Leica M7s shooting Fuji Velvia or Leica M8s.) Sequentially, the first photos tend to be the most recent -- working backward from sunset images taken in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley in August 2008. View this gallery as a slide show if you want to get a sense of what a great corner of the world the Northwest Wyoming is. JB

October in the Mid Atlantic, and finally there was rain, although it still was way too warm. All Leica M8 shots, some with the Noctilux 50mm at f/1; some with the Wide-Angle TeleElmar at 16mm; and some with the 28 Elmarit.

The National Cathedral

On an overcast Friday in September 2007, I went up the street to the National Cathedral, armed with an M8 and Noctilux 50 mm, f/1 lens.

Jackson Hole, Summer 2007

(John Buckley) — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 02:17:00 GMT

Everyone said it had been a brutally hot early summer, and the absence of snow on the Tetons showed it, the glaciers meek and shrunken. But it was, as always, the prettiest place in America to be. Long hikes in and around the park revealed new angles on the Grand Teton, and afternoon rains were welcome, not merely because of the evening clouds above Oxbow Bend, but because they dampened the smoke that kept blowing into the valley from the fires in Montana, Idaho, and the surrounding forests. All photos taken with a Leica M8. JB

Teton County Fair

(John Buckley) — Fri, 17 Aug 2007 02:00:00 GMT

In late July, Teton County, Wyoming has an all-American county fair, near the rodeo grounds in Jackson. You can't quite see the Grand Teton from the fair, but you can smell the glorious Western air, the horses, popcorn. Tourists come, on their way to Yellowstone, or just to spend time in Jackson Hole, and so do local families to enjoy the rides, and the spectacle of it all. All photos taken with a Leica M8. JB

Welcome To Bhutan

(John Buckley) — Sun, 01 Apr 2007 12:06:00 GMT

Bhutan is a small Buddhist kingdom surrounded on three sides by India and one side by Tibet. It is a land of roaring rivers and foothills higher than the Rocky Mountains, occasionally punctuated by Himalayan peaks that are like bugle blasts. Valleys unfold in waves from West to East, and one corkscrews up and down winding one-lane roads to travel from valley to valley. Here are some photos taken in March 2007 in the Paro, Thimpu, Phobjika, and Punakha valleys. The photos include visits to the famous Taktsang Monestary, poised on the edge of a 3000-foot cliff, and two Tsechu festivals, in Talo and Paro. Throughout our stay, which included a trek to remote villages, the people of Bhutan were wonderful to photograph - confident and friendly. It is a really magical place and I hope these photos give you a glimpse of it. All photos taken with a Leica M8.
