Saint Agnes Catholic Church

Hawk Buckman – Images of Nature
Limited Edition (Black & White Film Landscape)

This image was made on September 08, 2018 as I was preparing to leave to South Dakota from Scottsbluff, Nebraska where I had stayed overnight with a friend. From the deck of the home I could see this scene unfolding as I was packing my car.  I originally made this image using a digital camera in color, and donated several prints to Saint Agnes Catholic School to auction to raise money for a funds raising events held each year.  I promised the leadership of the church that I would not print more than 5 of the color prints as a means to drive the value of the image up, which would benefit the children of the school.  Two of the images were made a gift to friends.  Two images were sold, and one image was destroyed when my dog decided he was a critic.

The color images were printed in 16″X24″, and auctioned for more than $1,700 in one instance, and $1,300 in another.  I’ve made good on my promise to the church, and to the patrons that support the school who purchased the image.  This image is the black and white 11″X16″ version created with my Nikon F5 film camera using Kodak T-max 100, and a 500mm lens that I simply swapped out with my digital camera on the tripod, and has never been released until February of 2022 after having the negative drum-scanned in 2020.
