Posner Fine Art in collaboration with Harris & Ruble Gallery in Los Angeles, California, is pleased to present Wild Eyes in the Sierra Skies, photographs of the Eastern Sierras by ski pioneer Dave McCoy.
When Dave McCoy retired from Mammoth Mountain Ski Area after spending more than 50 years building the resort from the ground up, he turned to photography as his next adventure.
In the 1930’s, Dave started using a Leica camera to document the early days of Mammoth. Upon his departure from the ski resort, Dave’s close friends gave him a camera that defined his post-management years and gave his passion for life a new outlet. A longtime motorcycle enthusiast, bike rider and backpacker, Dave now approaching his 95th birthday, accompanied by his wife Roma spends much of his time traversing the Eastern Sierras on a Rhino (all-terrain vehicle) shooting magnificent photographs.
Dave has been a long time benefactor furthering education and cultural enrichment in Mammoth Lakes, California. A percentage of the proceeds from the exhibition will raise money for the Mammoth Lakes Foundation and Mammoth Ski & Snowboard Education Foundation.
