I should have added that next time, I'll spend more time in Saline Valley area (I got to the Lee Flats area for a bit) and also include the Eureka dunes, an easy run North! Because I wasn't feeling well, I only took about 10 shots in DV. This will be remedied next time!

I too was a little disappointed with the perfect skies upon my arrival! It will be a challenge...Originally Posted by Ed Kelsey

Richard, glad to hear you're feeling better, had to laugh when you mentioned black tee shirts. On a trip to Death Valley for a workshop my girl friend kindly packed my cloths for me. The first morning awoke nice and early, went to put on a T-shirt and guess what every one was black. And of coarse I wore a black one for the drive out. Luckily it was the last week in Feb so I survived.

Richard,
Ok, that big sign, held up by those Clydesdales and the spotty dog. Ok. we need to go back to the marketing department. Just to see what happened.
Just when are you coming back

Barker Dam isn't a bad spot for sunset. Get close to the dam on the south side. The rocks on the north side will light up golden at sunset and you'll have water in the foreground reflecting them
Another good place is right at the entrance to Jumbo Rocks campground though maybe an hour or two earlier than sunset
Met him for lunch with Dan Dozer, another LF fellow, in La Quinta yesterday. What a warm and nice fellow! Lugging his three bags of LF gears around with a tripod, looking for a good time.
We had a good time and saw some really nice nude studies from Dan who gave up landscape and threw himself whole-heartedly into more challenging work after the first Chamonix Nude Shoot Out.
Ah, so he was a casualty of the shootout! A couple of very fine gents - it was really great to finally meet Hugo in person after sending him wads of money all these years. A spectacular gentleman, as is Dan. We're hoping to do a WS in JT next year. What was it - nude self-portraits?!?

No, shooting naked Chamonix cameras. Since all involved were bad shots, the cameras survived just fine.
I met up with Richard yesterday and he is alive and well. Nice fellow.
