In my quest to avoid Twitter and with some time to fill in a waiting room, I discovered this from 12 years ago. Iain and I met Anita for a hike up Old Jackson Road. On the trip up to the White Mountains we discovered this retired USAF Oshkosh P15 en route to its newContinue reading “2017-11-05 #NaBloPoMo”

Week 34 – In camp
When we went on vacation this past August, I brought my Crown Graphic Pacemaker 4×5 along. It’s a press camera, so it’s supposed to be portable, right?
