"Why I don't
have any good shots of that climb"
In the driving
mist, I reached the summit, too tired and too numbed to wrestle
the camera from my pack......
It was a glistening
winter day, with snow crystals like many diamonds, but I guess
I'd forgotten to check the Battery on my camera's meter since
last season, and all the shots were underexposed.
I took some great
shots on that climb, but now I can't find any of the negatives/slides.
I did my best,
but I only got a few passable shots on that climb.
My kids musta
gotten into the box of slides from Mt. ------- what appears to
be peanut butter is jammed into the scratches on the emulsions.
All my best pictures
from that climb have my ex-spouse/ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend in
them.
The dawn
provided some wonderful photo oportunities, but by summit time
everything was socked in and we got nothing above 8,000ft, or
on the trip back down, where we almost missed timberline Lodge
itself in near-whiteout conditions.
I dropped my camera
over the north side of the mountain. No pictures from that climb!
