I have Halloween to thank for this month’s photo.  Last night, we took our son over to my graduate advisor’s house to trick-or-treat.  Since I’ve been out of school, I don’t see her that often, and had forgotten that I had printed a couple of my early photos for her years ago.  They were taken when I still shot film, and quite frankly, I had forgotten about them.  

One in particular–and this month’s photo of the month–stands out in my memories.  It was taken on my first trip to the Alabama Hills outside of Lone Pine, California.  It was early October, and the first snow of the year had just fallen in the Sierra; not only did I have fresh snowfall, but also I had clouds–something I’ve learned to appreciate in the Sierra (they don’t come along often).  So, although its not technically perfect, this image stands out in my mind, and I’m very happy to have rediscovered it.
