Often overlooked is the amount of supplies (chemicals, pans, tables, paper, etc) Jackson had to pack into remote, road-less terrain in order to develop his pictures. Add to that the 18 x 22 inch mammoth camera he used. There was no aperture, so he had to guess the exposure, which ranged from five seconds to 20 minutes! The first photo is of Pueblo Laguna in New Mexico and is dated 1883 . It is one of the few pictures of Jackson with his giant camera. (Click to enlarge.)
