I was camping at Smokemont campground with an old friend, and we took a little post-breakfast hike on one of
the trails that start in the campground.  On the way back to camp, I saw this standing wave with the light falling on
the water in such a way that the lines in the water looked like strands of long, silky hair, glistening in the sun.
While setting up to shoot this, I dropped a lens in the water.  You can't get a shutter out of the water fast enough.
 We took the glass out and dried the shutter over the coals of the fire on a piece of aluminum foil, but the blades
rusted anyway.  Luckily, it was an old Graflex shutter and I had another one at home that only needed a small
repair.  It was worth it, I guess.
Sizes
As most people seem to
prefer them, prices are
for framed prints, ready
to hang.  I use a very
nice matt black wood
frame 7/8 of an inch
wide, with a white mat.  If
you would like to order
unframed prints, go to
the "Purchase" page for
pricing.
