John
the relationship between animal and man is compelling. I absorbed your compositions, depth, beauty, primal undercurrents. i love seeing this. i’ll never go there, but want to go with you and experience it.
my experiences with falcons is so slight, but an inkling of what it’s like to connect with a wild thing.
thank you. with respect, anne

Medium/large format black and white was appropriate for this shot. The use of natural lighting is the way all photos from regions such as this should be shot (and all other photography for that matter). Fantastic. This is the, for me, the best and most interesting work I’ve seen on this site. I finally had to sign up and post a comment.

Akaky, (and Tommy)

Gore Vidal once said that irony was so lost on Americans that it should be written in blue ink. I wonder if Worpress can work out something like that? ;^}

Powerful photo essay, John! Like it.

Ever so often you see someone’s interpretation of how they see the world via their art and you are taken to a very deep space within that moves you beyond words, shakes your core. I had that experience when I came upon this photo essay. I especially connected to 20. 15, 18, 21, and 25 kept me coming back and 3 should be hanging in a museum. Thank you John for all the work you did to make these wonderful pictures and thank you Burn for making us aware of this wonderful work and photographer.

This is really beautiful, John. I see the homage to Avedon on the inside portraits, and that’s to say that you captured a bit of their spirit when you triggered your cable release – you can see it in the lines of their faces and you can see their lineage in their eyes. I think what you done and shown here is very important, and I have much respect for it. Thank you for revealing this story and for capturing it on film. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

This is magnificent craftsmanship on every level. Golden Eagles, I’ll be damned. John this work transcends the medium with your execution. Viewing these images is like savoring a great meal. Thanks for sharing.

I’ve been studying this project all morning, compelled to want more diaphanous lighting or more dramatic movement, closeups or softer focus. I want to get closer and form a more intimate connection with these subjects and the romance that their life, to me, represents. Then I realized that there is nothing romantic on their side of the lens. Theirs is a lifestyle that is more vulnerable to the unpredictability of nature than most and their struggle to live in that imbalance is precisely what gives these photographs the texture that I wish were softened, the light that I wish were not so harsh. The distance is consequential, necessary and meaningful.

The way the images recall photographs of the glass-plate era suits gives it a timeless aesthetic, which belies the fact that they are actually at the mercy of time and change.

I am very moved by this essay. Thank you, Mr. Delaney, for capturing this group of people appropriately.
