8/27/07—Monday
6:45 AM—Up.
7:15—Attempt to find fishermen’s lodge for breakfast.
Couldn’t find one. Went therefore to Jack’s in Bishop. Bacon, eggs, and toast .
. . wow . . .
10:00—Leave camp. Travel to Galen Rowell gallery in Bishop.
Very sanitized views of wilderness . . . everything perfect:
composition (no fallen logs, extraneous undergrowth etc), lighting (the perfect
sunrise/sunset etc.) etc etc. Employee states that 16x20 is most popular size
sold.
Major clouds developing. Photos of Infiniti & Convict
Lake.
Pizza for lunch in Mammoth.
Drive to Minaret Summit. Thunder, lightning, hail. Wow.
3:15—EconoLodge & shower! Slightly cheesy, older place,
but I can see the gondola structure on Mammoth Mountain from my window!
**
For some reason, there's no photos of the EconoLodge to be found in the contact sheets. Nor any mention of the drive home in the notes. Oh well.

So, for this trip I used an Olympus E-510, my first DSLR. The camera had 10 megapixels (my current Olympus E-M1II has 20). A somewhat low megapixel count, combined with all-jpg files, means that in practice there's a limited amount of Photoshop manipulation / enlarging that can be done. One interesting thing was that as I was hiking the camera kept bumping up against the buckle on my pack's waist belt, scratching the LCD screen. After that I made sure to affix a protective screen thingie to all my cameras.
