国家公园海报艺术家旨在激励新一代的自然爱好者
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.
罗布·德克尔6岁时第一次参观了国家公园,那次约塞米蒂之行对他产生了巨大影响。两年后,德克尔和家人进行了一次1万英里的越野旅行,他又参观了5个国家公园。他用柯达Duaflex黑白胶片相机拍下了这些照片,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.
他继续学习摄影,并在1979年有了他所说的一生中最伟大的经历。他在约塞米蒂国家公园跟随摄影师兼自然保护主义者安塞尔·亚当斯学习。
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.
作为一位受人尊敬的摄影师和平面艺术家,德克尔一直在探索和拍摄国家公园,他的创作目标之一是创作61个国家所有公园的图片,灵感来自于20世纪30年代和40年代的工作进展管理局(WPA)运动,该运动在全国范围内宣传各种项目。
"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."
“每个人都应该有机会看看这些地方,”德克尔告诉CNN。“这不仅仅是令人敬畏的风景,一个国家的文化和历史往往浓缩在这里。”
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,德克尔已经去过61个公园中的47个。德克尔的每张照片都有编号、日期和签名的海报,以100%再生纸为原料,以大豆为基础的油墨印刷。他的网站上印刷品价值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年有几个公园会庆祝重大纪念日,德克尔创作了限量版的版画来纪念这些活动。上图是为了纪念大峡谷100周年。其他重要场合如下。
