post some personal photos

Richard Dreyfuss, hmmm... Thanks Roman and Bill, and you're right about cartridges. One 5.56mm military round, a couple of 40 S&W, a few 10mm Auto, and some empty 9x17 and 9x19mm. The purple book is a Dept of Justice digest of state laws, for Federal Firearms Licencees. I'm a collector, so I know the dangers of that, and why I resist collecting cameras too!

Some interesting shots here! Roman, that's pretty cute of you and Nichole. 🙂

Here's me, my brother and sisters visiting a jolly old soul.
And yes, I'm the one that's crying.

Great photo! Your sister above you there looks a little distrustful of Santa...

Like a lot of us who take pictures, I don't have that many of myself.

But here's a quickie collage of what I could find littered around my hard drive.

From the 70's on.

The youngster sitting on his parent's porch in Vermont had no idea how fast time can fly. In those days one of my proudest possessions was my OM1. I still have it.

Hm ...
I'm just photographing the be sure, that I'm on the right side of the camera. 🙂
[Jim Rakete, Photographer] maybe a bad translation, but the reason for 'there is no image of myself'.

But I like to have a face to all those regulars in this forum 🙂, thanks.

Here is a recent one of myself, and another frequent RFF contributor. Can you guess who the other person is? And I never wear hats.

9 months after and some more hair 🙂

Unloaded more boxes from "way back" and found this picture I took of "Bad Water" in Death Valley - 1963 - I was 11 years old. Guess I'm still hooked on Nature/Scenics by "nature". 😀

H-man

When I get the chance, I'll scan my 60 minute, Velvia 50, nighttime shot that I made at Badwater. Lowest point in the US. (282 below sea level) Death Valley is way-cool for snapology!

D2,
Ah, home-sweet-home. Did you use a polarizer, or is it just the Velvia? Nice wide angle.

Badwater was nice, I liked the complete Death Valley NP. The Point itself was just because of the height difference really impressive. (From the trip to the Southwest in '98 I brought about 50 films back home 🙂 )

/rudi (has nothing to do with the subject, but ...)

tried to post my badwater image, but were not successful, one more try ...

24x30,
Ah, beautiful photo! Was that Provia F?

 

[24x30]

Was that Provia F?

no, just a simple sensia II 100, with a lens I would compare with the bottom of a bottle 🙂

But it was bright and clear morning. Thanks to the jet lag we were there at 5 or 6 in the morning.

Perhaps I'll be able to scan my one hour nighttime exposure of Badwater tomorrow. It was one of those years when the water was very low. It was basically a giant puddle that year. It was the same day that a Coyote stole a Power Bar from my hand, and chomped it down. I also got a great close up of him. Used Velvia 50, for both snaps. It was a decade or more before the advent of Velvia 100. Velvia 50, is great for really long exposures at night. I used to do quite a bit of that type of shooting.

Here's what the sign looked like in 1963.
I'm blessed, as my current spouse enjoys my stopping for photos and has even begun taking some digital P&S snaps herself.

Thanks D2,
I grew up in Mojave and have a few desert pics. I hope to see your Painted Desert shots, when you make them next time.
Here's a shot of Scottie's Castle with my 8 year old sister (she just turned 50).

This is my shot of the Uhebe Crater in Death Valley. It's like Mt. St Helen's, they found rocks the size of cars over 60 miles away from this extinct volcano. (ca. 1963)

 

[nwcanonman]

Last one (I promise), of sis again at the Harmony Borax mine. The "20 Mule Team"s hauled the borax from Death Valley to Mojave in the early days for processing.
