14" x 11" Matted Photograph Print

A self-taught photographer since high school, Fred Weyman, from Reading, PA, was an environmental toxicologist and has backpacked in the Sierra Nevada more than 30 times over a period of 15 years. Fred’s recently released photography book is aptly titled “The Sierra Nevada.” It’s a fascinating look at a famous mountain range in California that has been explored by numerous naturalists, mountaineers, and writers including John Muir and Jack Kerouac. Fred is a quiet, but personable guy who will be happy to talk to you about photography. He is also not opposed to sharing his tricks of the trade, though I suspect it would be difficult replicate anything Fred does. As early reviews of his book have described his work, Fred has a natural feel for capturing the light of a landscape as well as seemingly “impossible vantage points.” He was able to explore much of the high country’s varied terrain (from canyons and glaciers to lakes), all taken in different seasons and climates over the course of 30 backpacking trips spanning the years he lived in California.
