Tent camping at Wonder Lake?
Yes. I had a week there in a tent and qualified for a permit to drive the road 24/7 in either direction. Don't know if they still have that program for "professional" artists that meet the criteria set up by the Park Service to qualify for that perk. Moved back to America from Fairbanks 14 years ago and have somewhat lost touch on stuff like that.

Nostalgia- the old Pentax 6 X 7 was one of the finest cameras I ever owned. Coupled with fujichrome, it gave images that rival anything I have yet used and professional-grade digital cameras.
Indeed!. I used it for +/- 20 years in Alaska and sold a slug of images from it. Pentax even used two of my shots in their trade shows. I, however, found the system lenses going from exquisite to down right shoddy. The 45 rubber ring, 75 shift and 165 f2.8 were unbeatable. The 500 f5.6 was a 10 lb anchor and the 200 metal ring was equally bad. The 300 f4.0 was pretty good but mostly used vertically. I think the Achilles Heel in the system was the torque of the shutter in horizontal shots. Even with the mirror locked up and hanging your camera bag over the camera or even a mesh bag of stones, it was only if the gods were smiling that I could get a sharp photo with the 300 horizontally and then it wasn't "tack" sharp ever. Vertically, the shutter torque had to lift the camera and Gitzo tripod off the ground to introduce softness in the chrome.

Absolutely gorgeous shot of The Mountain. Very interesting. Thanks for sharing that one.

Thanks for the compliment. Actually there are quite a few Cibachromes of it in people's homes around the country mainly sold thru galleries. Too bad Ciba went down the drain. We also published 5,000 - 24x30 inch posters of the image on top end paper (Kromekote C1S) which I hawked myself and have only 100 left. No sense in hiding my candle under a bushel basket, so, www.kollodgegallery.com.

Outstanding photo! Looking at the cloud angle, and the tree reflection in the water, looks like it (the photo) could be level, the appearance of the unlevel lake could be an illusion, due to curvature of the land. Is that assumption correct?

Your perception about the land not presenting a level line is correct but maybe not for why you might be thinking. The ridge of brush was not perpendicular to me but drifting away on the right side. Had I done this with my 4x5, I could have swung the back to make the brush line look level.

Thought that may have been the case. Several of my photos have the same misleading shoreline. That is a spectacular photo! Thanks for posting, even if it is 'again'.

From 1982 with a Pentax 6x7 and 300mm lens. I was 40 at the time and this image has been very good to me. (thought I did this already but can't find it on Ugly Hedgehog. Sorry if it's here twice now.)
If it is a re-post, it deserved to be. Beautiful.
