My intent from the beginning in fall 2001 was to have a digital photo website with no commercial content, and I assumed it would be populated with scenic imagery from northern California, or from other places. It has worked out well, so far.   

My website is admittedly an outlet for my writing & editing compulsions, aside from taking & messing around with digital photos. 

Note about newer photo pages - I want to alert visitors that after I first post a new photo page, the photos are likely to stay the same, while the text will changes many times in the coming week, month, or year. 

Intellectual Property Dept. - except where cited (web photos), all images shown on this website were taken by me. I am responsible as well for any comments regarding the photos or destinations, and you'll find no controversy here. I strive to get historical info right, usually through correlation from different sources, a triangulation process.     

Security Dept. - This is an unregistered website, and I don't track visitors or devices. I'm pretty sure visitors mostly consist of family & hiking friends. Only once every few years does someone outside this group make contact, usually for permission to use a photo.  

Prolific hiking photos - I would like to thank my friend Rich B., who since the mid-1990s - when we worked in the same office - has lead an ever-changing group of hikers on a monthly hike from the Sacramento area, to such interesting places as the East Bay Regional Parks, or Point Reyes National Seashore, or the Sierra Nevada mountains. 

For about the last 15 years we have traveled as a small group, to the Eastern Sierra mostly, usually a four night out journey, usually at elevation.

My photo-pantry would be nearly bare if not for these hikes & trips and Rich was the catalyst every time.

Privacy concerns come in degrees, with nuances, all of which are acceptable to me. Should you be the subject of one of my photos who prefers not to be shown, just let me know.
