Hey I Passed

Ok the big news is I did pass my Midpoint Review. So, I'll be out there on 395 soon. Give a wave if your going by and you see me there.

Mid-Point Review

I've just sent in my 6 bound copies of my thesis proposal. Dropped them right into the FedEx box for delivery tomorrow. One week to the day before I will stand in front of a six person panel at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. I'll let you know how it goes.

But in the mean time here are a few samples of what I am proposing.






All these photos were made on or near US Highway 395 which runs up the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California. That piece of asphalt between Los Angeles and Mammoth Lakes California I have driven hundreds of times.

It all started back in the sixties when my parents put the six of us into a yellow and white Ford station wagon. On the drive, my mother would read books she had checked out of the library. Those books told us about geology, biology, geography, and history of the area surrounding 395.

If this thesis I am proposing is accepted, I will be back on that highway a lot in the next year and a half. If you are out there you can look for me. I'll be somewhere between CA 58 and Lee Vining.
