Fern Spring is located less than 1 mile from the entrance of Yosemite Valley. It is a pool of water about 10 feet across which is constantly flowing because of an underground water source. For this image I used the TL-120 stereo camera. The exposure time was at least 10 seconds.
Base of Cascade Fall
This image was made in 2008. Cascade Fall is just outside of Yosemite Valley. You can see it from Highway 140 as you are driving in to the valley. To make the image I used 2 Bronica SQA cameras with 50mm lenses (wide angle). The cameras were 4 inches apart on a tripod. I can’t remember the exact exposure time, but it was around 10 seconds.

Rugged Cross
Galisteo, NM. Late day with side lighting sun. This scene and the others around this small New MExico town, was a 3D wonderland to me. How many different kinds of fence can you count?

Diana and the Angle Oak
We were on our honeymoon, May 2011. This magnificent tree is near St. Johns Island beach, out of Charleston, S.C. They say it is 400-700 years old and shades/covers over an acre of ground.

Cypress and Lillies
This was taken in October 2011 (I think). I know it was October, because the leaves of the Cypress have this orange color onl7 2-3 weeks of the year. Caddo Lake, named after the Indians, is the only natural lake in Texas.

Driving Miss Dodi
This fellow has four of these old Nash Metros and a bunch of parts. Dodi is our Lab-Black Mouth Cur mix. She is about 10yrs old now. Best pet ever! BTW, Old Yeller was a Black Mouth Cur.

Summer in Boise
From the winter of 2008, we move to the summer of 2008. That summer, the NSA convention was in Boise. I went and took my TL120-1 along. Aside from the good time, good conversations, and good theater, there was great weather. I don’t know what the folks in Boise thought of it, but it was warm and dry (certainly not Juneau weather) and it appealed.
These were the two better street-shots of the two rolls I burned in Boise. Both are from a hand-held TL120-1.
Not Too Close / Plowing Prow
The winter ice has been terrible at the Mendenhall Glacier this year. The combination of snow, rain, and avalanches has meant I haven’t ventured near it, much less tried to cross it to get new winter images of the glacier. These two views from 2008 (captured with my TL120-55) will have to suffice. The area of ice pictured here is now long gone. In the summer it is open water. In the winter, it is lake ice.
Not Too Close
This image is taken about a mile and quarter across the lake from where I laced on my skates. Because of the current lake level, 
there is a patch of stable, rocky beach here. Because of cliff and creeks, it isn’t possible to walk around the lake to get to this bit of beach. Crossing the lake is the only way. Everything off that bit of beach is in flux and subject to change at any moment.
The cracks parallel to the shore show that the lake ice has sunk, and may again. The white froth beside the green glacier is a flowing and frozen waterfall. There is another stream coming down closer to the camera. Both are flowing under the ice, taking relative warmth, and creating areas of thinner lake ice. The glacier is calving from above and below, even in winter. Because of all this, approaching the glacier is a dance with an uncertain beast. I hunt for images and capture them as I approach, never certain when I’ll decide I’ve gone close enough and its time to retreat.
This image was made early in the morning’s dance. The colors and textures beckoned me closer despite the poor ice conditions.
Plowing Prow
Closer (and farther to the left) than the previous one, I captured this image. My exploration is stymied. The lake ice has been broken and refrozen several times, 
and there is water between the farther cracks. The advancing glacier has plowed up the lake ice like I might my driveway. Farther back there are pieces of lake ice resting 10′ out of the water, having been lifted there by the rising glacier. The textures in the ice in front of me still beckon, but I declare the dance done and retreat.
Into the Wild

Shot with a TL-120 using Provia 100F pushed one stop. This slide didn’t even seem worth mounting until I thought of trying a panoramic mount. Unfortunately I used my last panoramic mount here.
Coney Island Mermaid with Umbrella
Coney Island Mermaid with Umbrella- Jim Harp
Shot with a TL-120 and a Vivitar 285H fill-flash with plastic diffusor. The fill flash is an important element in this shot, without it her face would have mostly been in shadow. The Coney Island Mermaid Parade happens on the first Saturday after the Summer Solstice every year and is a wonderful opportunity to get interesting people shots. There are plenty of photographers with interesting rigs who attend, but the TL-120 never fails to attract attention.
