After his remarkable contribution to the public domain, the History Colorado Center opened an exhibition of his work not long ago and he gave Gov. Polis a personal tour of his work.
“His unique talent allowed him to showcase our state to millions and he will be dearly missed,” says Gov. Polis. “My condolences to his family and friends. I hope that we can all follow his example to appreciate and care for our outdoor lands.”In his lifetime, Fielder showed that photography can be a powerful influence. In 1993, it was his pictures that helped pass the Colorado Wilderness Act which created 36 federally protected Wilderness areas that amounted to 660,000 acres.
Fielder, who lost his wife Gigi to Alzheimer’s disease in 2005, is survived by two daughters, Ashley and Katy, as well as six grandchildren. “[He] left this world very peacefully, looking out at his beloved Gore Range with our family by his side,” adds Katy.
