Trip Logs

These pages may be of interest to anyone planning similar trips to the mountains and take the form of a photo gallery and diary. They will be added to periodically.

The images in the logs are mostly scans from proof prints and straight prints. Also, some images are from digital photographs of traditional prints that were too large to scan (before I bought a negative scanner). New trip logs will be from negative scans. Most of the images are available for sale.

If you need any more information, please get in touch.
