Diablo Valley College is using a photo of mine taken on a 2004 Sierra Nevada pack trip that passed through the Rae Lakes area. The scene shows a peak called Painted Lady with a bit of one of the Rae Lakes in the foreground.

My backpacking buddy Owen Lee is a member of the music faculty at DVC and the conductor of one of the groups featured at this performance – and he was on the trip with me when the photo was taken.

As a photographer, one can have mixed feelings about the use of a photo as background behind text on a poster, but I think it works in this case.
