We have all eaten in a restaurant with walls adorned with this kind of wallpaper. The food may not have been memorable, but the decor - however kitsch - holds a place in our visual databank.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eThat, however, is where the similarities end with this image which was taken high up in the San Juan mountains of Colorado close to the fabled mining town of Silverton.

It is a high-energy photograph, and we were all energized on set. These are the moments that as an artist I cherish: working at sunrise; 9000 feet up in a deep canyon with a tight crew of cowboys and trying to create a little magic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eNot many people have filmed here because access is a challenge; it requires going the extra mile both literally and metaphorically. As I get older, I sense that that really is the best way to grab the attention of others; we live in a content spoilt world which dismisses the mundane. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003eSpielberg once said, “his biggest fear was to be mundane” and if he worries, then we all should. I certainly work on the basis that a good starting premise is to be paranoid about taking boring photographs. I think a degree of insecurity is a good creative building block and ultimately if that leads to results like this, that professional mindset is validated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e~ David Yarrow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Yarrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50070702751815,"sku":null,"price":100000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1213\/7518\/files\/TheRiverGang_B_W.jpg?v=1794417739","url":"https:\/\/sorrelsky.com\/products\/the-river-gang-b-w","provider":"Sorrel Sky Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
