Title:
Hikers in a Clearing
Description:
"The setting in the original reminded us of the muskeg on Lower Salvage Trail just before the short trail that heads up to the small parking lot on Revilla Road. It was a great photo to recreate because hiking is as popular now as it appeared to be back then. The original features 5 men and 3 women. I drew from a slew of female hiking companions, but I had more trouble talking male friends into the adventure. It was a fun debate amongst 8 people as to which essential details to include in the modern picture. What is that man holding above the woman's head? Did he steal her hat? Did they bag a ptarmigan? What is the rectangular satchel behind the second man on the left side? Is he a writer? A surveyor? And, why all the dour looks?" — Lori Ortiz
