This image was captured during a shoot for Fairmont Hotels & Resorts.
We arrived at the Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge in Telluride Colorado smack in the middle of mud season. Have you ever been at a ski resort during mud season? Nothing going on at all. So quiet…… no restaurants or bars open, town dead, just maintenance going on during the day.
We arrive at the resort for a 5 day shoot of rooms, pools and overall amenities, etc… We meet with the General Manager and marketing person and go over shot list, and at this time they tell us we are the only ones staying there. Ok….. shades of the Stanley Hotel and Redrum run through my head, especially after hearing a few spooky stories from the night manager. We wanted to get this image at sunset but weather wasn’t going to cooperate, so we had to do a sunrise image. We had to go in every room and pull shades and turn on every light on at 4 am in the morning, could have sworn we heard a big wheel running over carpet and hardwood floor.
