Title: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: Phillip Dampier on March 12, 2006, 05:19:42 pm: Okay folks. I want us to start working on some things around here. Since nobody seems ready yet to start on some of the harder stuff, let's do something fun and make this site look at little more personable and interesting.

I want some pictures. First and foremost, for those of us "flatlanders" as IdahoLonely likes to say, I want some photos of mountains... or at least some big hills. And they have to be from your area and photographed by you. So grab those digital cameras, camera phones, or whatever and start taking some pictures. I would love for us to have some great photo albums of some nice nature shots and we can build some sort of nice visual photo album together.

In fact, get out in the country and take some pictures of anything that you think might fit the theme of Brokeback. That could be a 1960s Ford truck or a farm somewhere... or sheep... or anything else. We could also use photos of you if you'd like!

I will find places around the site to use them to help keep us in a Brokeback state of mind.

You can e-mail photos to: [email protected] and I will get about putting them on the site.

Hi... feel free to sent a dozen or so. You can send them to [email protected], which will work better anyway because the forum software has a file size limit.

Thanks for helping out!

Post by: Fla_Tim on March 19, 2006, 04:38:54 pm: Hey Phil,

I emailed you one lame pic I had from a trip to Tahoe, it does have mountains. I haven't been to to Rockies since digital photos took off so I am going to dig through my old photos and get my hubby to scan some. Or I could send pic from Space Mountain which is our highest mountain in Florida they say.

Hugs,

Tim

Wow... this would be super great. In fact, we might draft you as our correspondent and send you to the filming locations and make you take LOTS of pictures. I am still considering a visit to your neck of the woods this summer if things fall into place.

But one thing’s for sure, I really want the opportunity to do some camping under those very same stars that was featured in brokeback! Will I be able to get hailed on with the very same hail? ;) I do jest of course; this would be such a cool trip to do. Thanks horo.

Check out http://www.slideroll.com/ - it's one of the services I am reviewing for consideration to make the pictures come alive. Other ideas and suggestions are welcomed too.

Post by: Front-Ranger on April 11, 2006, 05:55:15 pm: I sent about 30-40 pictures taken in the Rocky Mountains to your email address. Hope you find a use for them. I made them all jpgs, about 200-300 kBs for onscreen viewing. Looking forward to seeing your photos of the Canadian Rockies, horo! I just made one small trip to Calgary last year and saw the Rockies over to the west as the plane was coming in for a landing. Then, when I got to downtown Calgary, I thought I was in Europe! Such a bustling metropolis. I hope to get back there this summer and visit Jasper National Park and the headwaters of the Athabasca River. I would also like to visit in the winter and see the Northern Lights. I have some friends who live there and can't wait to visit them. Meanwhile the lower Rockies where I live in Colorado are mighty nice too.

Post by: TJ on April 29, 2006, 04:31:40 pm: Here are some links to websites where I have found Brokeback Mountain pictures. And . . . some of them are not even shown in the movie.

http://web.mac.com/sic3/bbm/ (http://web.mac.com/sic3/bbm/)

In the pic below, they are actually leaning against the truck which Ennis drove early in the movie. (In the book/short story, Ennis was driving his own truck when he showed up at Aguirre's office in Signal. He was driving when he and Jack split up and drove off in opposite directions after they had eaten at "that place in Dubois." Ennis pulled over to the side of the road because he thought he had to puke because it felt like someone was pulling his guts out. It was not food pulling on his "guts;" it was the fact that the man with whom he was in love drove off the other way.)

In the AP story, Jack had a "minor bull-riding buckle" fastened to his belt at the bar in Signal, May 1963 and in the 1967 reunion scene at the motel, Jack talks about the belt buckle he had won rodeoin' when he met Lureen.

So, he had earned at least two buckles.

It's actually in Calgary behind a boxing gym! lol In the movie it's at night but you can tell it's the right place especially where I'm standing. That's the spot where the prostitute is leaning against. The pic taken from inside the alley showing out is in the movie but they show mexican style buildings which were props they built but as you can see now its just an empty parking lot.

These pictures and the guided tour are fascinating
I will be watching this thread for more.

I have been experimenting with screen grapbs from the movie and I created a special round of the ABCz complete with "pizelized paintings". Some of them are quite good, even if I have to say so myself. But I would give anything to be able to walk the "Brokeback Tour" with Horo35.
And Meryl these photos are so cool. But of course that is the real Wyoming. - lol.

Thanks guys.

In the 1st pic I'm trying to walk where Ennis is before the truck almost hits him. This building is now empty with the neon signs gone and is actually located in Blackie, Alberta. In the other pic you can see the Blackie community hall building (a few couple of doors down from bar) which is also seen in the movie.

When we went there I actually almost passed right by it because of it being so small so I had to really step on the brakes in order not to miss the turn off!! lol The second pic is actually taken through the glass on the front door. It wasn't open so thats the best shot I could get. I really wanted to get a shot from the back looking out cause thats what you see in the movie.

Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 09:00:13 am: And speaking of Jacks house here it is. This is located just east of Besiker, Alberta. It's actually located in a farmers field, abandoned and totally surrounded by brush! There is no way you can reach it from the front. I had to walk around in a field to get to it. But this shot is where you see Ennis meeting with Jacks mother. It's really run down as you can see. They actually filmed the scenes inside where Ennis goes into Jacks room and I so wanted to go in there to take pics but I needed to get permission from the owner. Plus I'm not sure how a person would get in there with all the windows and doors boarded up! Ohh and also there were wasps building nests all around the house so I didnt want to get too close! :laugh: It may be hard to picture this in the movie due to time erroding the surrounding environment but check out the tree on the right...that tree hasnt changed a bit! It looks the same now as it did in the movie. I could now see Ennis standing at the door...

Post by: Front-Ranger on August 21, 2006, 10:09:45 am: Even though it makes me feel incredibly sad, that's a great picture! Not only because of what happened there, but also that it looks so abandoned now, and seems to indicate that the filming was a long long time ago. Lee
Title: Great Pics Horo
Post by: Toast on August 21, 2006, 11:03:18 am: I don't know if these photos are more exciting or sad.
I love seeing these pics, and they add to the film.
I will be watching for more pics.
Thanks Horo
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 11:06:06 am: These pics are taken in Rockyford, Alberta. These are the scenes where Jack is riding in the rodeo and also meets Laureen. This area is supposed to be 2 different rodeo grounds in the movie..one in Childress and the other one in Electra. They just used the same area...only difference was they put up boards over the steel fence to make the rodeo grounds look different. In the second pic I'm standing in front of the chute where Jack came out of (#4).
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 11:10:42 am: In this shot I climbed up to the announcer area and just had to get a shot that was from the movie! It was very cool looking out from there...I could almost see Jack sitting there on the end of his truck as Laureen raced by and dropped her hat! The scond pic is where Laureen and Jack "park their car"! :laugh: It's actually right by the rodeo grounds. You can make out the small shack that they parked by in the movie.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 05:07:04 pm: Hey, glad you like the pics guys. I'll post more up as I get time. I had alot of fun touring these sites...made me feel closer to the movie and I'm not done yet. Next weekend I plan on goin back to the mountains to find the camping sites. But actually what I really want to do is tour Wyoming! Afterall thats where the story takes place. I've been there a couple of times but have never gone near the Teton mountains. We plan to travel there next summer...I'll have to take my cowboy hat with me and take some pics of myself in front of the real mountains! ;D
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 09:48:40 pm: This pic here is where they shot the dance hall scene with Jack and Randall sitting outside talking on the bench. It's actually a CIBC bank in Rockyford, AB. Nothing was shot inside. The inside scenes were shot at the Royal Canadian Legion builing in Calgary. I wanted to sit on the bench where Jack and Randall sat but they moved it to the opposite side...dohhh!! >:( ;)
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 10:02:48 pm: Here is the Riverton post office (in Rockyford, AB) that Ennis picked up the famous postcards that read "you bet" & ...sadly "deceased". The brick building beside it is now replaced with a newer building and the adornments of the post office are now gone. I tried to look in but the glass is all painted black and it's all locked up. The phone booth across the street where Ennis phones Laureen that's in front of the JT Bar is nowhere to be seen..possibley a prop.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: iluvchocolate on August 21, 2006, 10:11:39 pm: Front-ranger and toast, allot of the small,older farm buildings, here in this part of the province anyhow are run down to this kind of shape. Many buildings are allot like the Twist farm. When approaching the site on the highway all you can really see is the green tarp that is now covering the roof. I think of it wasn't for the green tarp we would have missed the house completely

I hope.... no I pray, that the owner of the land is fixing it up, trying to preserve the site. If not for the sake of BBM, for the sake of the history that lies in the house not just with the making of brokeback, but the history that started I would think close to 80 years ago.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 21, 2006, 10:12:45 pm: And here is the JT Bar that Ennis walks in front of to make the phone call to Laureen. Notice you can also see the Childress dance hall (bank) across the street. I'm seen in the 3rd pic walking towards the imaginary phone booth to make that call! :laugh: The second pic shows the surrounding area that Ennis walks by. All of this is in Rockyford, AB
Title: Good Work Folks - Love those Pics
Post by: Toast on August 21, 2006, 10:30:32 pm: Thank You Horo and Luv.

This is so cool
I love the tour you are giving us.
You almost have me thinking I can be Ang Lee and his cinematographer.
If one had a portable DVD player and a couple of buddies in cowboy hats, you could have so much fun getting the angles right.
You are also making me realize how much of the film is actually Ennis scenes.
The film is really about Ennis.

Toast

ps the deep blue sky in the street scene reminded of one of the sadder paragraphs in the story:

Annie Proulx wrote:

Going up, the day was fine but the trail deep-drifted and slopping wet at the margins. They left it to wind through a slashy cut, leading the horses through brittle branchwood, Jack, the same eagle feather in his old hat, lifting his head in the heated noon to take the air scented with resinous lodgepole, the dry needle duff and hot rock, bitter juniper crushed beneath the horses' hooves. Ennis, weather-eyed, looked west for the heated cumulus that might come up on such a day but the boneless blue was so deep, said Jack, that he might drown looking up.

I can tell that you have seen the movie and enjoyed it.
But have you read the short story as well?

Yes I have read the story...I actually have the book. Although I wish I would've read the story 1st THEN seen the movie because I think I would've appreciated it all the more. Unfortunately I never heard of the book until I saw media reports on the movie.

Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: 2robots4u on August 22, 2006, 10:02:18 pm: I've just finished post #76, and anxiously await the next installment. Horo35, your photos are great, as are the rest of them. In the post where you show the bar where Jack and Ennis go for a drink, you said you didn't take a photo of the inside "...due to patrons staring at me." When my nephew was about 15, he became interested in photography to inhance his 24-hrs-a-day consuming interest in trains and wanted me to teach him to use a better camera than a point-and-shoot (I am a photographer). And the first rule was never let the on-lookers decide what you will or won't photograph; 2nd one was to not be shy about asking people to move if they were not wanted in the shot. One day, a few weeks later, we were at the train museum station in Sacramento (CA) and he asked me to take the picture (because he was embarrased by the crowd) but I told him to do it himself and pay no attention to them....lo and behold, he steped around looking for the shot he wanted (I had turned my attention elsewhere) and suddenly heard him ask everyone in the way to please move back. They did. And his photo won the photo contest at his school. I wasn't there to see him get his award, but my sister said he thanked me for encouraging him with his photography. e has since won many "train related" contests.

So, to you I also say: photograph what you want, wherever it may be and don't be concerned by on-lookers.

If I was as good with the computer as I am with a camera, well, who knows....

Post by: horo35 on August 24, 2006, 08:53:42 pm: Well this weekebend we plan on going to the mountains and findning scenes. I especially want to find the scene where they are in a dozy embrace.

Title: Mountain Hike Pics
Post by: Toast on August 26, 2006, 12:44:57 pm: Hi guys
I can't wait for your mountain pics.
Even if yu don't find the exact spots, any pics of the area are great.
I like the way you released the pics over a few days last week.
you are a gentleman Horo and Mrs. Luv.
I hope you have a great day together.
Don't catch too many fish, though.
Toast (Morey)

ps according to the info in your picture files, you have a Kodak C340 camera and you could be getting much more detail in your pics.
Personally, I love to zoom in on pics and check out details and compare them to the movie. Any chance you will be using a greater resolution for your pics in the future, to show us more of these details? I know this means you will get fewer pics on your card, but sometimes ...

Post by: iluvchocolate on August 26, 2006, 10:51:08 pm: I posted this on a different thread earlier today I was excited about it and in a rush to start our little BBM tour ( and get rid of our kids for the day ;) ) but here is what info I posted and then more:

**************NEWSFLASH***************
I just spoke with the wife of the owner Of the Twist house. I was hopeing we could get in today but he's out harvesting. Looks like we may be able to get in next week!!!! She told me to call back at the beginning of next week.

I also wanted to add that they are in the process of perserving the twist house!!!!
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 26, 2006, 11:18:11 pm: Well we went to the mountains today and found all the spots we wanted to. We first wanted to go to the shot where Jack & Ennis jumped off the cliff in the buff. But when we got to the area the guard wouldn't let us in due to construction. Ohh well..I guess we'll have to get some connections on how to get in! ;)
1st pic is the scene where Ennis & Jack are riding horseback by a lake. This is a beautiful area as seen in the 3rd pic of surrounding area. 2nd pic is movie shot..wish I couldve got a nice crystal clear shot of lake but just wasn't happening.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 26, 2006, 11:28:22 pm: And actually right next to there is the winding road where they show Jack & Ennis speeding off together in the truck. I thought I wouldnt find it but its very distinct as your driving north on the 724 hwy. Although as you can tell it is the same mountain..from the movie it looked like they super-imposed it somehow...it looks larger in the movie.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 27, 2006, 12:03:31 am: Ohh and as we drove around we saw one of the area townfolk having an outdoor picnic! When you leave Canmore to go on hwy 742 you will actually have to drive up a mountain side...and this is usually crowded with mountain sheep on the road...so be cautious.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: iluvchocolate on August 27, 2006, 12:07:15 am: Yeah this "townfolk" stuck around for his picture... on our way in they was several of them having a "town meeting and picnic" ;)

Can someone tell me why they were eating the side of the mountian????? ???
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 27, 2006, 12:17:55 am: Here is the scene where Jack & Ennis have a final meeting. The 1st pic is where Jack says the famous line of "I wish I knew how to quit you!" This area is popular with people so it was hard to get some shots. Cars and people were everywhere...it was a g-ddamn bitch of a unsatisfactory situation! :D Jack is actually standing in front of a parking lot...as you can see in the second pic. This is of course where Ennis speeds off after the so called dozy embrace scene. It's hard to tell from this pic cause of all the cars. Also the outhouse on the right doesnt help either! In the movie it looked like they used props or a computer add in to cover it.

Wow... Stroke of luck I guess! 8)
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 27, 2006, 01:57:06 pm: This area is what you see when approaching the major campsite seen in the movie. You walk down this rather large hill and come to the hill where they fight on, the dozy emrace scene and the pole bridge. As you can see it's quite the scenic area!
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 27, 2006, 02:04:37 pm: 1st scene you will pass is the fight scene. I thought from looking at the movie they were way up in the mountains somewheres but this is actually a small hill located in a valley. I was surprised with the location. 2nd pic I'm sitting where Ennis sat but they somehow used a different shot. Ennis looks quite close up while that little dot in the corner..well thats me. Im not that good with photography... But the other shot of my wife turned out better. It is a very beautiful area.

toast I was trying to get horo35 to strip and do his laundry....can't even to get him to clean his clothes for a reenactemnt of a movie.... ;) he was too worried too worries more BBM fans would stumble on him...... OH and do you think he'd sit around for our OWN dozy embrace ??? he was too excited that he had found the spot!! LOL it was so cute to watch him all excited.... I just can't believe that these site are in my own backyard and I never knew it.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 27, 2006, 04:05:52 pm: Well after the hill scene right away you notice the pole bridge. Not sure who built it but it's fairly sturdy...not sure if one needs it cause Goat Creek is quite small and shallow as you can see. Well I posed right by where Jack sat and sure enough there was a big stick sittin right there..so I just had to grab it and do the laundry thing! But I did leave it at the same spot for someone else next time. I was going to get buck naked but figured maybe that was going too far!! :laugh:

Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: 2robots4u on August 27, 2006, 05:56:47 pm: Hi horo35...your pics are truly amazing and I enjoy looking at them very much. In the view of the mountain with the truck you state "...from the movie it looked like they super-imposed it somehow...it looks larger in the movie."

In comparing the movie still to your shot, noticing the narrow width of the curve in the road and the tops of foreground trees, it appears to have been filmed from a greater distance and a higher elevation than yours. Additionally, the movie camera with it's super tele-photo lens compresses the scene, making the mts appear larger and closer.

Again, your shot of the truck driving away with the outhouse visible is just the opposite; the movie still was taken from a closer view. Notice the tops of the trees in your shot and the expanse of sky, compared to the movie still. I caught this immediately because the diagonal tree trunk just to the right of the truck in the movie still is much larger, indicating it was a much tighter crop.

I pick up on a lot of these subtle things, having been a professional photographer. The camera you are using (and I know nothing about it) is probably not the kind you would use to exactly duplicate a movie still, but you are showing the general locale, and that is the important object for this project. Keep up the good work...Doug

And with that I say to all come experience not just a Brokeback movie scene but come and create your own experience that's better than any movie. It's a beautiful area and it can create alot of good memories.
Title: Re: Project! We Need Pictures
Post by: horo35 on August 27, 2006, 09:45:07 pm: Well finally here is the "dozy embrace" scene. It's actually right by the pole bridge. When you see the area and then watch the movie you'll see that pretty much all the campsite scenes were right in this area. One could actually camp here...it's a perfect spot. Well i dont know if you actually could...I didnt see no signs but since its not a designated area, probably not. But its a great area to sit there and enjoy the quiet nature. As you can see in the first pic someone set up some stones to the left...looks like thats where the fire was. I guess they were marking it so one could stand in that very same spot...just like I am in pic 2. You can definatly tell its the spot by looking to the left and seeing the one tree leaning over to the right against the other one.

Sometimes you think visiting the site of something will destroy the illusion
but your visits to these areas have added to it.
I can just imagine how you must have felt to be able to stand there under the mountains and to hear and feel the environment
The movie is so quiet, as far as natural sounds. but you were there.

It is also good that theTwist home will be protected and saved.
This sort of "tourism" could be another way to keep the spirit of Brokeback Mountain alive, or at least to make more people aware of it.

Thanks for every picture, and yur words are so honest and well spoken.
Thanks. I am letting everyone know about this neat experience.
Of course I hope to see even more pics here as you both continue to be captivated by this move.
You lucky Albertans.

It looks like really beautiful country. I've never been to the Big Horns, but now I want to go.
