Thank you, Eli! I am pleased to know that you have been up there in the Enchantments yourself. It has been a few years since I have been up there myself. Maybe this Sept?

Congrats on that fantastic cover! I recognized that scene the moment I pulled this issue out of my mailbox. Also, very nice site, and lovely work. You give me inspiration in my own photographic endeavors. Cheers!

Jon, Fantastic to turn the cover and see your name in the credits. I’m sure there will be many more to come! Do you do autographs?

Thanks, Florian. I wish they would have asked me to do the color adjustment. They asked about making the yellow larches green, since it was the June cover, but it looks to me like they just grabbed the yellow saturation and dragged it towards green. Either way, they can do whatever they want for a $1500 cover usage!

Hey Jon,
congrats to the cover. I think I do not need to say much about your excelents in your landscape photography. The images speak for themselves. About this cover: I like the REAL image with the yellow larches much better. The altered image seems just “flater” to me. I understand about needing to make sales, but would have hoped a magazine would just publish this shot and story in the fall……..

Hi Jon,

I subscribe to Backpacker and when I received this copy I immediately went to find the credit for the photographer who took this “killer” image. This image is simply as good as they get. I know for sure I will be spending a good amount of time reading through your blog.

Congratulations on another great cover Jon! I will have to buy the magazine and add it to my collection. Guess I will have to get used to this new way of communicating with you! Mom
