A striking 6x7 medium format film photograph from Auburn, California, captured on Kodak Gold 200 for the Structure collection. The image presents a powerful low-angle portrait of a monumental, weathered statue of a Gold Country prospector, a Forty-Niner who defines the human impact of Northern California’s Gold Rush era. The intense gaze and the rugged, aged patination of the sculpture are emphasized by the harsh sunlight against a soft, pastel blue sky, perfectly demonstrating the exceptional materiality and structural detail achieved through analog 6x7 film. This environmental portrait serves as both a public art study and a historical tribute to the engineered heritage of Placer County’s mining culture within the Matt Haupt collection.
