The faces behind the cameras | |
I am not a professional photographer, though I have sold some pictures. But it has been a passion for over 40 years. I am new to FM, but try to make regular contributions. My passion is the mountain wildernesses, and as a teacher I spent most of my summer in the Sawtooth, Seven Devils, Tetons, Wind Rivers, Sierra, Cascades, Wasatch, Uintas and Colorado Rockies. But since my recent retirement, I have been able to visit the desert and tropics in the colder months.
I live in Salt Lake City, which itself has one of the most beautiful mountain settings in the world. So far I have not seen a city of its size which has a better backdrop. And it is less than 45 minutes from wilderness hikes, mountain biking and skiing. It is also a great central headquarters. I am a half days drive from most of the Rockies and the deserts of the Southwest.
The first picture is with my loyal companion of 15 years, Bailey (in the backpack). She would hike with me, but of course did not know how to pace herself. She would plop down near the end of hikes and I would put her in my frame pack. Of course she did not go on my longer backpacking trips. I finally lost her last year. The first picture is the end of a hike in the Tetons.
The second picture is not "a face" but was from Jackass Pass in the Wind River Mountains. The Cirque of the Towers is in the distance.
