Infrared Photography

DON'T FENCE ME IN I was never too enthused about this particular shot, but I do love the "leggings" on the one horse.

NINE-BURN ROAD We had stopped on this high road for a look-see into the canyon below, so I thought I'd take a shot. As I was printing it out in the darkroom, I found it took nine passes in the enlarger to properly dodge and burn in the different areas to make an equally-exposed photo. Needless to say, there aren't too many editions of this photo around. This may be the only one.

SKIPPIN' STONES If my memory serves me right (sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't), this is the Mineral River and we're on a lunch break, which eventually developed into a stone-skipping contest. You can't tell it from this photo, of course, but the rocks lining the river on either side are a bright orange, probably from heavy levels of iron oxide in the water. That didn't stop us from shucking some clothing and taking a little dip in it, though -- a very little dip. That water was COLD! Here we see Leigh taking her best shot, either that or doing tai chi. I think she shows excellent form, either way.
