About These are old slides and i did not have a scanner so i projected them on to a screen and reshot them with my D80. This is why they are so fuzzy and a bit old style looking.
This is a photo of Lydia Bradley a well know New Zealand Climber. Her claim to fame is the first woman to climb Mt. Everest without oxygen in 1988.
We are climbing The Leaning Tower here in Yosemite California (1981). It took to days and was overhanging by 110 degrees the whole way. We used a lot of adrenalin on this one.

the first woman to climb Everest without oxygen ? What an achievement. I dream of photographing Mt Everest from Kalapatthar one day.

LOL.... yes she was a bit crazy but a good friend. We had fun and and a lot of fear all in one.

That's enought "claim to fame" for anyone, I would think, Tim! Really a spectacular perspective when you think about it. You sure wouldn't want to drop your camera here!

Great shot -

You must have spent hours getting that bleached look using special PS filters - trying to pass off this as an old "slide"... heh.

I actually think the "oldness" of this photograph makes it better. Stark contrast, blobby colors, bleaching, and of course the old school clothes, equipment. What is stunning to me is that the style almost seems consistent...

Cleaving the horizonal with 1/2 sky half mountatin - placing the subject along the perspective looking up.

or maybe just a click without thinking before you lose the camera.

Calculate the energy to lift the camera weight over the thousands of feet - was it worth it?

A simply asstounding shot. Forgive the pun ;) I cant imagine climbing something like that...let alone bringing out a camera and shooting pictures!
