Joshua Tree Pictures Rudimentary Menu

first off, i feel that i must apologize for the spartan nature of this image menu.  there are no thumbnail images, just filenames, no accompanying words of eloquence, nor are there delightfully colourful backgrounds.  in short, no fancy shmancy save the elegant black borders framing each image.  enjoi.

Eleven Thousand Feet:: J tree looking down on us looking up mountains hey look it's a lizzard hey look it's another lizzard my palms are up, you must understand I will continue to stand here alone as you walk away J tree looking out another J tree looking out J tree silly wet just a touch cliche I stood upon a high place Jumbo Rock Campsite: ansel emulation like staring across an ocean the conspirators Rob on a big fucking rock *colour sunnyandrob *colour halation and a rv *colour Bending To The Desert Winds: twisted and contorted the branches ache to move carved against the canvas sky Other California Pictures: brooding boy *colour turn to the right *colour *shot by sunny teigh puzzled girl

secondly, a technical note on the pictures.  all black and white pictures were shot on kodak tmax 400 film except for "puzzled girl" which was shot on fuji neopan 1600.  all black and white pictures were printed on fuji archival colour paper, which produced strange and unpredictable coloration, most of which i tried to keep in post-editing, some of which i discarded completely and changed.  the colour photographs here were shot on fuji reala 100 and printed on agfa colour print paper except for "turn to the right" which was shot with a panasonic dv camera.  35mm cameras used were minolta srt100 manual camera with 50mm f/1.7 and 135mm f/2.8 lenses, canon eos elan II with 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 lenses, and sunny's manual camera which is no longer with us.  all photographs were scanned with scanner doohickeys and fucked with in photoshop.
