This image was taken in October of last fall while my friend Rob and I were out photographing in the badlands of the Red Deer River Valley. It had been pretty wet, and our opportunities to get out into the hills were limited. Even by the time I took this shot, near the end of the trip, it was still pretty greasy. This formation consists of bentonite and cretaceous shales. It is an area that 65 million years ago, alternated between marine and tertiary. I shot this on Kodak High Speed Infrared with my Ebony view camera and a Nikkor 300mm lens. It was actually shot from the shoulder of the highway, not far from the Hoodoos Recreation Area.
