Yosemite Fall (1996)

Yosemite Fall - Yosemite  1996

 I've been scanning some 1996 negatives recently. This photo was possibly taken in May during one of my routine Yosemite camping visits.

Sea Castle

Sea Castle Apartments - Santa Monica  1990

This had been shown on the blog before, but looking at the scan more closely this time I realized that there was a self-portrait hidden in the image:

Monday Cow Blogging

Cows (San Geronimo Valley) - Marin County  2026

Overcast morning . . . taken on my way out to Point Reyes using a Nikon Z7II.

I like how the cows on the edges are facing towards the center! Usually they're all facing in the same direction.

Mount Tamalpais

Clouds, Mt. Tamalpais - Marin County  2026

From Sky Oaks Road on the way to Lake Lagunitas. Very dramatic!

Photo taken with a Nikon Z7II, 24-200mm lens.

Go Karts

Go Karts - Santa Monica  1990

Taken on or near the Santa Monica pier.

Jockey for Her

Jockey for Her - Santa Monica  1990

Santa Monica as the location of the photo is a guess. Other photos on the film roll were taken near the Santa Monica pier.

Price of regular gas as shown on the right hand side: $1.07.

Very noisy, especially the one on top. Might have been young and wanting to be fed.
