water covers the granite in a shallow
pocket of Tenaya Lake
(Operation Loner, Aug 2004)

After moving around Tenaya Lake I found these rocks isolated by the water in a section of the
Lake. On a side note I almost destroyed the entire roll of film by jamming the dark slide back
into the film holder and letting light in. Part of the film was damaged on the right
side but cropping fortunately allowed me to save most of the image.


When I see the beauty in a photograph the time is taken to
truly expose the image with my eyes. What may be captured
on film can never replace the moment of viewing it and
thanking the heavenly father for allowing me to see it.
When the film is developed and the excursion has ended
it is only the remembrance of that moment and a vision
of a slice of film that is left to ponder over for
the eternity of my time left on this earth.
