One From The Vault
1851 1920 Liberty Thermionics

A couple of years ago (September ’05) Jason and I took off for Yosemite one weekend. We packed the car full of medium and large format cameras, related equipment and a couple of sleeping bags and left after work on a Friday evening. Jason had rented a couple of 8×10 lenses to play with and i was trying to make…

Feather River Dam – Detail
1902 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Here’s another shot of the Feather River Dam. The original image can be seen here. The dam is pretty cool. There’s not really a whole lot going on there. The dam sits there and i assume the water that was flowing through it was just a little bit of overflow or something as there’s no way they produce much energy…

Burney Falls – Burney CA (Take 2)
1910 1920 Liberty Thermionics

This is another of the frames of the Burney Waterfalls that i took back in late May. It’s similar to the first one i suppose. I can’t really decide on which i like the most. The falls are pretty cool and i’d recommend that you visit if you’re in the area. From the parking lot it’s only a short walk…

Hoover Dam Overflow Drain
1902 1920 Liberty Thermionics

I was able to stop off at the Hoover Dam while in the Nevada/Arizona area back in May. I was struck by the enormity of these overflow drains. There’s one on each side of the dam and they provide a mechanism for the rapid egress of water which would otherwise lead to dam failure. Apparently they were necessary once several…

Mt Lassen State Park – Kings Creek
1892 1920 Liberty Thermionics

We took a hike down Kings Creek in Mt Lassen State Park. We were there during the last weekend in May and there was still snow all over the place with several roads through the park closed down. I made this picture by jumping over the stream and onto a small island in the middle. Getting onto the island was…

KFOG Kaboom – redux
1898 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Happy 4th of July! Here’s one more shot from the KFOG Kaboom fireworks display from a couple of months ago. It’s pretty tough shooting fireworks in San Francisco. You’re in the middle of a major city so it never really gets that dark. It’s usually at least a *little* foggy (if you’re lucky) which just reflects even more light. Because…

Sierra Nevada Mountains – PG&E Dam on the Feather River
1894 1920 Liberty Thermionics

Diving along the Feather River is a pretty cool experience. You can follow it for quite a while, 50+ miles if i remember correctly. The road trades bridges with a railroad line that runs parallel, sometimes above, sometimes below. There are a bunch of dirt roads that allow access to the railroad tracks, and even one that will get you…

Zion National Park – The Virgin River
1897 1920 Liberty Thermionics

We ended up only really being able to stay in Zion for about a day due to some travel restrictions (such as being back at work Monday morning). Luckily we were able to extend our stay several hours longer by choosing to fly home early monday morning rather than Sunday night. Unfortunately that meant more time in Las Vegas. Zion…
