I could see the photos.

Thanks for the support everyone! Neil and Vaughn, it would be great if you guys could make it in person. Text me at the number I gave if you have time for a cup of coffee or something. My wife...

The diminutive cloud is wonderful! You've been posting a very nice set of desert images. It does seem there is a little banding in the sky at the right edge of the image that maybe you can fix...

That is so you, John - great image. I love those highlights around the front door.

I feel a bit silly posting this, given that the closest forum members are probably Vaughn and a few Portlanders, all five hours away, but what the heck! I've got seventeen prints hanging in a small...

Interesting images Robert - I'd love to see prints!

Thanks for looking, Joel! I made a number of images on a recent trip to Utah, and this one was the best for sure.

One of my favorite bands from Drew's neck of the woods:

Well seen, as they say!

That's lovely, Igor!

Thanks all!

Temple of the Sun, foreground is part of Temple of the Moon. I have a lovely print of both, from the far horizon, that I got from Erik Larson in a print exchange some years back.

Lots of really good photos posted here recently!

I think Green River, UT (on I-70) is famous for some kind of melons...

Bryan, your affinity for fairly extreme wide angle lenses leads to a lot of compositions that are far too exaggerated for my taste. (Note emphasis.) But that Indian Mound image is perfect with a...

I don't sign my prints, because I can't stand my own signature!

Drew, You've got to get better at sneaking them in!

Most of mine come by mail, and I always hope to find them on the doorstep before my wife does!

There's something happening here.

If you do go to Farson, WY, as suggested by Mudrunner, be sure to get an ice cream cone. Order a single - you won't be able to eat anything larger than that before it melts, unless you have...

I'm fortunate enough to live in an area where there just aren't enough of us humans out there to create user conflict! :cool:

Be sure to find the article "Ban the Bedsheets" if you want a good chuckle and some interesting thoughts about print size. If you are overly sensitive and print large, skip it.

That is a great study in texture!

As a fairly avid "real" mountain biker, that location does not look like the sort of trail I would seek out.

But, to address Drew's point, I've run into a number of bikers, mountain and road, who...

Looks like a great time! My uncle used to live on the north side near the base, in Walnut Creek. The few times I had gone up there, I really liked it.

John,

I know there are a number of organizations collecting funds for Ukraine. Do you have any sense of which might be the most effective?

I believe this one is from a trip in the Grand Canyon, 2018.

I ran into a young woman last fall who was traveling in her car. In addition to Walmarts, she was using Planet Fitness. Apparently, if you have a membership they let you park overnight in their lot,...

I agree with the others on many of the points they've made, so I won't go there. I'll give a few recommendations in the area closest to where I live.

When you get to Crescent City, CA, find and...

Was that photo taken recently, Tuco? If so, it looks like things are as bad up there as they are around here!

As an aside, when first processing my own B&W film, I went to a workshop, and one of the leaders asked what film and developer I used, and how I processed my film. He then proceeded to tell me I...

Yes, 4x5, and I made no claim about damage to film when mesh is not used.

I suspect there are plenty out there with your experience, as I don't recall ever seeing complaints of sticking. If it's...

Thanks. It is probably, other than technical considerations, the best photo I've ever made. It was late afternoon, and we had stopped to put skins on our skis. I looked over and thought "wow!" You...

I figured you'd spot this, Joel!

I just hang the mesh sheets and negatives from a clothesline, for both to dry.

This is our dog Sage, died 2009, on a ski trip near Mount Shasta. Taken from a 35mm color slide of slightly less than optimal focus:

When I was teaching, I posted some other photos of...

Here are some pics. Tube, with cut piece of mesh. I will trim the stray strand, but that is likely not enough to be a problem.

Mesh partially inserted - when pushed all the way in, the...

When ordering the mesh from Amazon, I was a bit confused as to what mesh size I needed. I took a guess, and the 400 micron looks just like the stuff Joel had sent me initially. I would guess that...
