Some film snaps from a recent jaunt in the Eastern Sierra. I lugged my heavily ass digital camera through the mountains on this one but was slow to edit everything and once I got this film back I lost all interest in the digital stuff. These photos s
Hero light. Coming down from the summit (previous post) the skies opened up to this. On a shoot you can’t really ask for much more - even though we had already wrapped and were running out of time to get home before dark we all stopped and pull
