Selfie

28 June:

I think it was Lisa that taught me that term. This selfie (self portrait using a cell phone) was taken this morning back at Minaret Vista.

Off to Mammoth Lakes



27 June 2013:

Departure, late morning:


Lunch in Mojave (it was pretty good!). 


After lunch, the air temp was 104 F all the way up the Owens valley. The mini was struggling a bit to make power at that elevation and at those temperatures. I finally turned off the AC on the Sherman Grade between Bishop and Mammoth Lakes (5000 feet to 7000 feet in less than 10 miles), put the Mini in 3rd gear at 5000 rpm, and it felt much better. That was fun! LA to Mammoth on one tank of gas.

Sunset at Minaret Vista near the main ski lodge at Mammoth, elevation about 9200 feet. Quite a show.

And we just managed to finish the batch from 7 years ago. 

The batch from 2008, still unopened, can be seen in the second photo.

After Sunset



4 June 2013:

This time, I put Kodak Ektar 100 film in the Hasselblad and shot near the Hermosa Beach pier on Tuesday the 4th from a half-hour before until about a half-hour after sunset. I especially like the bicycle. Trying to follow a moving object with the Hasselblad is tricky, both because the image is reversed in the viewing glass and then because it is a single-lens reflex camera.
