One of Gifford's most famous early photographs, "Sunrise on Mt. Hood from Lost Lake," shows the reflection of the mountain in the lake as plainly as it shows the mountain itself. Gifford frequently advertised that he was offered $1,000 for the original negative but refused it. The image appears in the following publication, "Oregon Then & Now."
