South Fork of the Merced River

1920 1530 Liberty Thermionics

I’ve been preparing some pictures from a recent trip to Yosemite, we hadn’t been in several years and i brought a couple of different camera systems with me. I’d also planned to shoot some color film which isn’t something I usually do. Most color negative film uses a developing process called C-41. I’ve never done that at home before and…

1899 1920 Liberty Thermionics

We spent this past weekend in Yosemite and the river certainly didn’t flow like it did back in May when this picture was taken. The Merced was mostly idle and rather shallow. The only waterfall that showed even a wisp of water was Bridalveil Falls (see previous image). Up near Glacier Point there was no sign of moisture at all,…

1896 1920 Liberty Thermionics

It appears that things were starting to thaw out by the time I arrived. That piece of ice is about 2 and a half feet thick and earlier in the winter was the surface of the stream.. I’ve got a bunch more snowy, frozen Montana and Yosemite images to go before we change gears into the Death Valley desert. Stay…

Goose Creek in Montana

1920 1912 Liberty Thermionics

I spent the entire day today developing film. I havent run that much film in one day since i worked in a darkroom, and it was a little easier then cause it was a darkroom, not my stupid kitchen. Ive got a week or so of scanning in front of me but soon i’ll have my Death Valley stuff ready…

I ended up down by the river at sunset looking for the bats i’d heard so…
