First turns away …

Big Cottonwood Canyon, originally uploaded by flahute.

Fun with Photoshop … image taken 12/14/2008 in Big Cottonwood Canyon.

Yesterday’s storm which hadn’t completely blown over yet this morning, dropped about 15-inches of fresh snow up Big Cottonwood Canyon (and probably a little more in Little Cottonwood Canyon), so I finally headed up to get in [...]

Black and white photos, primarily, generally at night, with very fast film, [...]
