This photograph was taken in July 1963 in Grand Mesa, Colorado.

My grandad set up his Canon on a tripod and using a timer, took it himself. From left to right is my uncle (age 9), my mother (age 7), my granddad (39), and my grandmom (38).

Ever since then, this print has been framed and hanging in one hallway or another for sixty years, and I always wondered about the story behind it.

A few years ago my uncle sent the original slides from the trip. I processed them at home and restored them using Photoshop and Lightroom.

So sit back and take a trip back to Colorado 1963 as the Yates family camps at Grand Mesa, drives the Million Dollar Highway, rides horses, and catches enough trout to feed the neighborhood back home in Texas.
