I grew up in a small town. I went to Uni. I started taking pictures afterwards in 2000. Several cross country road trips and 3 summers in the Sierra Nevada forced me to fall in love with the outdoors.

developer?
I happen to run across your photos in doing research for a hike in my neighborhood..... I live in Sonora CA. You take beautiful photos. I have the same camera as you but would like to find a high quality developer. Any suggestions? Thanks!

about releif resevoir
the equipment you saw there was used to build a tramway for supplies to build the dam. if you look into the water to the side of the dam you can see more under water. also there is a man made cave in a large rock formation close to the dam this is were the men camped while building the dam. there is rumored to be a rail line at the bottom of the lake too.I spent alot of time there my first solo trip was at age 12. i love it there but havent been in about 12 years.

Dam backwards?
We go hiking up here often. Great pics! I've always questioned, however, why the dam was built the way it was. It looks backwards...isn't the arch supposed to be pointing into the water it's holding back? I wonder if this was intentional, or a monumental engineering error?
