Self-portrait before heading out on Wednesday for first turns of the new season:

^^^ blessed are those who occupy space in their happy places

A couple from the Louvre yesterday. Or maybe a party at PappaG's place, I can't remember. . .

last weekend



and campus

Last weekend at the Leap (taken with a LX-3):

^^That first shot has an almost dizzying perspective with the line of rope trailing down like that. Killer shot!

Last weekend in GTNP

Horrible day around Jones Pass, CO today:

alas, we have no snow yet like the CO folks, but hey, at least I've got a fridge that looks like this.

Up high

thoughts on a processing trick? I composed this to try to use the person to convey scale, and also shot the frame when he was trying to assess the route. I didn't get enough contrast and isolation of the human form though - not enough clean background, so I tried another trick. pulled down the saturation on most of the colors except for the blue jacket, to bring back some really strong contrast. I think it kind of works ... just trying to figure out how to compose better for next time. (btw, it was a damn fun, and puckering at times, climb)

Thanks man. I was in AK for two weeks, that was the only sun I saw the entire trip.

i thought that looked like you in the background of ucl's pic.
man i hate heights.

Bit hazy yesterday and I blow at landscapes, but cool clouds and a bit of sun

today in Walpole!
i did some farming

All you fuckers with enough snow for skiing without hiking hours for it are making me jealous.

Snow level down to 2500' later this week though...

Yeah buddy - awesome shot!
