The folks at 1001 Noisy Cameras have started to put together a listing of photo blogs with RSS feeds. If you can’t get enough photo news from the web already you ought to check it out! ;-) While you are at it, subscribe to the 1001 Noisy Cameras feed – a lot of interesting stuff comes across the internet by way of their site. My blog has a feed – obviously, since it is included in their list – that you can access in a number of ways including a click on the button near the top of the page.

Back from the Eastern Sierra
Just back this Saturday evening (hey, looks like it is now Sunday morning) from a five-day trip to the eastern Sierra. This was a trip that almost didn’t happen, and actually did not happen according to the original plan. We originally planned a week-long pack trip into the upper Kern River basin, but those plans were scrapped at the last moment due to a variety of circumstances. Instead a group of three of us dialed back our plans and came up with a shorter trip to the lakes of Sabrina Basin. However, the night before I cracked a tooth! Fortunately, I have a cooperative dentist, and he saw me first thing in the morning on the day I was to leave. I’ll spare you all the dental details, but suffice it to say that he patched things up enough that I was on the road at 2:30 p.m. to rendezvous with my hiking partners at the Four Jeffrey campground that night at 9:00 p.m.
The next morning we headed up the trail out of Sabrina Lake and over the next four days we managed to visit a whole series of alpine lakes: Blue, Topsy Turvy, Sailor, Midnight, Moonlight, and a few others. We had some slightly challenging conditions when an unusual weather system passed over the northern Sierra, bringing rather high winds and colder than usual temperatures throughout the range. On the plus side, the cold seemed to suppress the mosquitoes – and we had a rare conjunction of peak wildflowers and few mosquitoes.
There are still some earlier photos in the queue, but photographs from this trip should start to show up here in the next week or so.
If you are in Yosemite on Thursday…
… Drop by the Ansel Adams Gallery at 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. – for the First Light Reception. From the announcement at the Gallery web site:
Come enjoy the photography of Charles Cramer, Karl Kroeber, Scot Miller, Mike Osborne, and Keith S. Walklet at the opening reception for the exhibit celebrating their book, First Light.
Ansel Adams Gallery, 9031 Village Dr., Yosemite National Park, CA 95389

I had a chance to look at a proof of the book a week ago and it is full of lots of wonderful photographs, along with Sierra Nevada stories from all five photographers.
Sierra photographs on the way
A few people may be aware of a series of photographs I made at Tuolumne Meadows in Yosemite National Park last week, and some may wonder why they are not here and why they instead see photographs of things like urban San Francisco.
Patience. :-)
While I post some material here on the day that you see it – like what I’m writing at this very moment – much of the content has been queued up ahead of time. Since I knew last week that I would be away in Yosemite for four days I had about a week of posts and photographs already in the hopper, so to speak. The first of the Tuolumne photographs will appear here on Thursday if all goes as planned.
