Colorado Yule Marble Mine, June 1993
The Colorado Yule Marble Mine, closed for nearly fifty years from 1941 to 1990 was the source for many Washington D.C. buildings and monuments, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. At 9500 feet elevation, it was a steep climb with just one camera to reach the huge open mine portal with piles of discarded marble scraps with their distinct drilling marks. The photograph looks to the northeast across the Crystal River Valley to snow-capped peaks. With the need to keep his backpack as light as possible Marc Schuman chose the legendary Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex Medium Format Camera and its Carl Zeiss Planar lens as the single camera to carry. Even today, there is likely no medium format camera more versatile, light, and capable of the highest possible image quality than a Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex.
Camera: Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar Medium Format Camera
From an original Konica Infrared Black and White Negative
