I learned from Ron Niebrugge that the camera he is using is a 4×5 large format camera which apparently is still very popular with landscape photographers. It is not as impressive as the one he encountered during his photo shoots though, which you can see in this post on his blog.

That is pretty cool. Hopefully someone will surface who this photographer is. It'd be great to see his images and especially his prints. I would imagine it would be tough to complain about carrying gear after seeing this guy out there. Wow! That is pretty cool.

I will get Cat to sign an autograph if I see him again. :) I hope you are able to get up to Alaska one of these days - I'm sure your kids will be impressed with your TF background!

Coincidentally, a Cat Stevens song is playing on my computer right now. Hopefully, we will make to AK in the next couple of years and get together so you can tell my kids how awesome the Tastee Freez was. Joe Ron,

Fullerton isn't too many hours from here - had I planned ahead, it would have been fun to run over there and visited. You aren't still there are you? Ron That is funny Joe.

Of course, his was not that impressive, I think it was about 1/10th of the size of the one you saw, but still, I was not aware that some people were actually still using these :) Funny, I also saw a guy with a similar camera in Central Park, New York on Sunday.

One of the things I love so much about traveling is all the stumble-upons. We used to go out to the Black Rock Desert a lot. Each time we went out there, we stumbled upon the strangest things. Probably the strangest incident was the time we were coming back from a sunset shoot. We were driving down this dirt road after dark and stumbled upon a man lying in the middle of the road on his mattress, with his dog and a gun by his side. He had rolled his truck and told us if someone hadn't come along soon, he was going to end everything. Naturally, we rescued him and took him into town. The next day when he was sober, we got to meet him at the scene. He was very grateful and glad to have a chance to thank us. I love the desert!
