I was an elected official then. It was the public affairs dept. job to schmooze us. Great trip. I got to see what kept photographers so enthralled with the place. I even found 120 film in a local camera store. The owner said that he didn't see much of my kind anymore, what with digital and all that. Some Holga samples from the trip; http://laborphoto.blogspot.com/2007/08/dwp-owens-valley.html sd On Dec 14, 2008, at 7:59 PM, Mark Rabiner wrote: > Its my favorite part of the whole USA.
