The slidxe show is still loading but I am looking forward to go see it.
I will be in town for the Louise Bourgeois at MOCA, and I will hop at the gallery.
Congratulations, the work looks strong.

Great to see some backcountry on your site. The Ritter Range and Minarets are a view
I grew up with, and still see across my pasture from the west. In your picture of Granite Park you can note a steep little snow couloir going to a U-shaped pass. That's where I first taught my nephew to use an ice axe. I was hacking out steps with an
85 lb pack on my back, with a Sinar inside, headed toward Seven Gables basin. My
nephew soon became a world-class ice climber and did the last major unclimbed wall
in Patagonia and the most difficult route on Mt Asgaard on Baffin Island, among many
other things. He turned out to be a terrible photographer, though!

Looks like a beautiful show. I will actually be in LA this week and hope to have time to stop in.

Drew,

How wonderful to have such a view from across the Valley from the coast (SF?). The U-shaped couloir clearly visible in "Granite Park" is indeed (as I'm sure you know) a well known knapsacker route allowing direct access to upper Bear Lakes Basin from upper Pine Creek. At the time the photograph was taken I worked my way from the north over the somewhat useless Lake Italy Pass towards Seven Gables, but descended it six days later on my return.

My view is from my mtn property at the edge of the San Joaquin Canyon. Have to
walk about 1/2mi up the road to actually see Mt Ritter, because another peak blocks
the view directly. Plan to go up there this weekend to clean the roof and maybe use
the 8x10 a little. Hope you can exhibit in northern Cal sometime. Don't get to the south
part of the state very often anymore. Last time I was in Granite Park, went over the
U-notch morning of 2nd day, then up Seven Gables glacier the second day (a class 3
pass involving a bergshrund and a bit of hauling the pack with ropes - sadly mostly
gone now due to global warming), into Merriam Basin, then back over Pine Creek Pass
the following day in a snowstorm. My nephew called it a "death march". Wish I still had
that kind of energy. On my own site there's a b&w shot of Seven Gables (#35) which
I took on that trip. Once met a fellow at Lake Italy who took a mule over Italy Pass
and declared himself insane for doing so. The largest quaking aspens in the world perhaps are lower down Bear Creek; I've measured them up to 37 inches diameter. I apologize for not being able to get to your show, but maybe sometime I can make up for it.
