Having returned from my nine-day Sierra Nevada pack trip last week, I’m up to my eyeballs in photographs to review and work on. I’ve now picked off all the low hanging fruit (the photographs that seem to have immediate, obvious potential) and I’m now engaged in the more laborious task of going back through all of the images again and looking more closely at photographs that seem to have potential but which will take more thought and work.
I’ve posted a few of the backpack photographs already, and more should begin showing up here near the end of August.
A bit later I will post another product review. I’ve had the chance to use the Lowepro Nova 200 AW bag a few times this summer, and I’m anxious to use it a few more times so that I can post my report here. (This bag is designed more along the lines of a traditional camera bag, so it wasn’t part of my arsenal on the recent pack trip.)
I’ve been in California’s Sierra Nevada for about a week and a half, most of that time on the west-to-east backpack traverse of the range via the High Sierra Trail of Sequoia National Park – this trail starts at Crescent Meadow on the west side and eventually crosses over Mount Whitney to end at Whitney Portal on the east side.
Yes, there will be photographs. Soon.
Apparently my “virtual self” checked out last Saturday or so when this site went down. Why does it alway seem to happen when I’m away!? Thank you to those who sent email to let me know about this, and an apology to others who may have been unable to access the site – especially to any of those I met on the pack trip.
I’m hopeful that things will operate more reliably now, though it also appears that a few glitches may remain. (And thank you to the tech support at siteground.com for working quickly to get things back up and running after I contacted them.)
I’ll be unusually busy – in a good way – during the next week plus a few days. So don’t be surprised if I don’t respond to emails right away. Please accept my advance apology, and be assured that I will get back to you eventually.
The sidebar was becoming very long on this site. (Did anyone ever actually scroll down far enough to see the blogroll? ;-) To try to simplify things a bit I have moved a lot of the content from the sidebar to a series of tabs across the top of the screen. I hope it works for everyone.
I still have a longer term goal of doing a more significant site update, but that will have to wait until I have a bit more time to work on it.
