American nature photographer John Fielder has released over 5,000 of his work into the public domain. The Colorado State Museum of History, which will host all of his work, will release digital versions of his work in the coming months. Born in Washington, D.C., John Fielder immigrated to Colorado after college and turned his hobby of photography into a career, photographing the Colorado landscape in an effort to preserve the state’s wilderness, and his work influenced the U.S. Congress to enact the Colorado Wilderness Act of 1993, creating 36 federally protected nature reserves totaling 660,000 acres.
