An old thread maybe, but here's my latest self portrait posted in the MSA Gallery.

I love that. Seriously. You've captured both the timeless landscape and yourself the photographer as an ethereal being, existing for that moment in time.

Not a recent photo - this is a photo of me made by my father using my Pentax SP500:

That must have been a very nice trip. Nice portrait too. Als a much better souvenir too than any postcard.

Thanks, Theo. And more than a post card -- for sale at my (cooperative) gallery along with two other views of the tree!

The 60th birthday hike was great. Challenging at times. I decided to go off-trail and make a 3rd attempt to find a particular spring (about 8 or 9 years apart) -- and the for the third time failed! So I spent 9 hours hiking cross country to cover what might take 2 hours on the trail. What's a few hours whan you are having an adventure!

Here is another one from the 60th Birthday -- The Western Juniper on Shell Mtn (2 1/4 sq platinum print):


And a two minute exposure, appropiately called, "Two Minutes in the Life of a Photographer". 8x10, Yosemite Valley, carbon print
