Deer Skull

As I was driving back from the Anderson Valley towards Cloverdale I kept noticing groups of photogenic oak trees clustered here and there throughout the hills. I stopped at the first available pull-out and got out my camera.

Of course, after taking photos of the oaks, I happened to glance down and saw this skull, prompting another exposure using a Minolta 35mm film SLR.

The photograph prints up nicely, but I’ve wondered about it—whether anyone would ever want to purchase it. In fact, it was one of the few photos that sold during the Fairfax Festival.
