Fresno Trip - Stage 2 Yosemite - Part I

So as the weeks approached, I was checking the status of the Tioga Road every few days on the website. Sure enough, two days before we took off, the website had a warning, “Temporary Road Closure - Tioga Road.” Nothing more. November 7th, the same date it had closed in recent years. So we cut across the Sierra Nevada Mountains much further north at Lake Tahoe. So imagine my surprise when we pulled up to Yosemite’s west entrance and the sign said Tioga Road - Open.

Fresno Trip - Stage 1 The Klamath National Wildlife Refuge

A couple of weeks ago Ann and I made a trip down to Fresno for the next stage of decision-making for the Sportsmobile. Because it had been a year since our last real photography trip (our trip to Southern Utah which I didn’t really blog about, because I’ve barely worked on the images), we decided to make a trip of it and instead of heading down for just a day, we’d extend it for more than a week.

Lately Len and I have had a series of e-mail exchanges about photography. Like so many such conversations, it began with talking about gear. In time it moved to discussions about photographers and whose work we’re looking at now. Surprisingly, there was quite a bit of overlap, even among contemporary photographers we’d never talked about before.
