MONDAY, January 25. It is not yet six in the morning, the temperature outside is in the region of minus 25 and David Yarrow is being driven up a mountain in Wyoming so that he can take a photograph of a Native American sitting in a canoe that dates back to 1880, on top of a frozen river, against a mountainous backdrop that Yarrow himself describes as one of America’s “most majestic.” Which basically makes it just another typical Monday morning in the life of the Glasgow-born photographer. For years now, Yarrow has been travelling the world with his camera.
