Yosemite

Notes From The Road

#0463_02A - Somewhere in Oregon. August of 2016. Leica M2, Zeiss 21mm f/4.5, Ilford HP5 400.

We finally made the trek up to Eugene, Oregon, by way of Ashland to see a family friend, and to visit Cougar Hot Springs, which is quite possibly my favorite place on earth...

It was the first time I'd ventured anywhere without crutches or a cane since breaking my leg in May, but soaking in hot water for 5 days took the edge off. Felt good to be on the road for a while, seems like the summer just sort of melted away this year...

Safe to say this may have been the last long haul for our beat up old Honda... what with a bad front end and no air conditioning, I think it's about time to put her down.

#0462_14A - Highway 5 North, August of 2016. Leica M2, Zeiss 35mm f/2, Ilford HP5 400.

#0470_25A - Yosemite Valley, October of 2016. Leica M2, Zeiss 21mm f/4.5, Ilford HP5 400.

Randomly ended up in Yosemite Valley in October with some old friends for a day... Hadn't been through there in years, and I completely forgot what a circus it is during the high season. Additionally, the last time I was out that way, selfie sticks weren't yet a thing... Strange to take a step back and see just what's become of this great American Landscape.
