國家公園海報藝術(shù)家旨在激勵新一代的自然愛好者
Rob Decker visited his first national park when he was 6 years old. That trip to Yosemite made an impact. Two years later, on a 10,000-mile cross-country trip with his family, Decker visited five more national parks. He photographed them with a Kodak Duaflex camera with black-and-white film and was hooked.
羅布·德克爾6歲時第一次參觀了國家公園,那次約塞米蒂之行對他產(chǎn)生了巨大影響。兩年后,德克爾和家人進行了一次1萬英里的越野旅行,他又參觀了5個國家公園。他用柯達Duaflex黑白膠片相機拍下了這些照片,他被迷住了。

He continued to study photography, and in 1979 had what he describes as the greatest experience of his life. He studied under photographer and conservationist Ansel Adams in Yosemite National Park.
他繼續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)攝影,并在1979年有了他所說的一生中最偉大的經(jīng)歷。他在約塞米蒂國家公園跟隨攝影師兼自然保護主義者安塞爾·亞當(dāng)斯學(xué)習(xí)。
A respected photographer and graphic artist, Decker has continued to explore and photograph national parks. One of his creative goals is to create images of all 61 national parks, inspired by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) campaign of the 1930s and 1940s, which advertised programs and projects across the country.
作為一位受人尊敬的攝影師和平面藝術(shù)家,德克爾一直在探索和拍攝國家公園,他的創(chuàng)作目標之一是創(chuàng)作61個國家所有公園的圖片,靈感來自于20世紀30年代和40年代的工作進展管理局(WPA)運動,該運動在全國范圍內(nèi)宣傳各種項目。
"Everyone should have a chance to see these places," Decker told CNN. "It's not just the awe-inspiring landscapes. It's the culture, the history of the country that are often encapsulated there."
“每個人都應(yīng)該有機會看看這些地方,”德克爾告訴CNN。“這不僅僅是令人敬畏的風(fēng)景,一個國家的文化和歷史往往濃縮在這里。”
As of late June 2019, Decker has been to 47 of the 61 parks. Each of Decker's images is available as a numbered, dated and signed poster, printed on 100% recycled paper stock with soy-based inks. Prints are available for $35 on his website.
截至2019年6月底,德克爾已經(jīng)去過61個公園中的47個。德克爾的每張照片都有編號、日期和簽名的海報,以100%再生紙為原料,以大豆為基礎(chǔ)的油墨印刷。他的網(wǎng)站上印刷品價值35美元。
Because several parks celebrate major anniversaries in 2019, Decker created limited-edition prints to commemorate the events. The one above is for Grand Canyon's 100th anniversary. Other big occasions are below.
由于2019年有幾個公園會慶祝重大紀念日,德克爾創(chuàng)作了限量版的版畫來紀念這些活動。上圖是為了紀念大峽谷100周年。其他重要場合如下。
