I spent a week at the UC White Mountains Research Station studying photography with an excellent teacher, Stuart Scofield. It was a series of photography theory and practical exercises aimed at fine arts photographers. Didn't stop me though. I drove up to the Crooked Creek Laboratory at 10,200 ft. It took two days to acclimate. I also discovered that I probably won't be an early morning photographer, at least at high altitudes. Too cold and early for me. I'm a night person. I spent most of the practical exercises photographing the Bristlecone Pines. They are the oldest living things on earth. I have a blog entry that addresses that. One day I set off from the classroom to see what I could find to photograph besides trees. A came over a rise and there was a great old abandoned miner's cabin. It was filled with all kinds of things to photograph. I was very excited to have an opportunity to work with the cabin but it was my last afternoon there and I was running late so I just took a few shots in hopes of getting something I liked. I liked the photos above. Hope you do as well.
