They are lovely photos, Moose – of people and scenery.
Thank you, Chris!
It was an amazing, often breathtakingly beautiful place to visit. If you look at a satellite view, there's a vast, arid,
high plateau, with one green snake running through it. The gorge cuts through an aquifer. At the top of the green part,
the ground is dry as a bone, then damp, they there's a small stream, and soon a river, over a very short distance.
It was also a photographically frustrating trip.
All I had was my relatively new Nikon Ftn and a Nikkor 50/2 lens (excellent). That was all I could afford at the time.
When home, I would often borrow my dad's 35 and 200 mm lenses. At this distance, I don't recall whether it was
unavailability, weight or what that kept me from having them along.
It could have been space and weight. As you can see, I was in good shape, and carrying no extra body weight. But it's a
long hike, in high heat and space in the packs was limited. The last part of hiking out was right up there with the few
toughest hikes I've taken.
I do clearly recall frustration in viewing subjects that required a different
lens to capture.
