If you have broadband, are bored, and want to look at some pictures of my
"adopted home water"

http://www.kimshew.com/visuals/HenrysFork/


I'll put similar slideshows up for the Firehole, Silver Creek, and other
AHWs soon




oh, if this doesn't work ... let me know, my connection isn't up to such
things so I didn't test it, except on my local box

Holy crap Batman, those are incredible. Numbers 30 and 34 are my
favorites.

gosh, blush

I think I've posted a lot of that collection before to ROFF. My website
server got hacked, failed, and I'm forced to look at the site and get things
working on the new one ... so this is a by-product of that. As mentioned
I have lots of other photos I'll group into slideshows but they are mainly
ones I've used in my journal or elsewhere.

I'm starting fresh, new camera included, this next summer with the idea of
collecting images for hardcopy publication. I'll be more stingy about
sharing the new stuff online G Hopefully Nature will cooperate and
provide seasons of lots of clouds and dramatic lighting, but regardless it
will take me several seasons to get what I envision. I want to get some
fly fishers fly fishing photos in the mix but that is difficult since I
travel as a lone angler. Maybe I can get you to model ? g I also
have some things I want to say about our sport, but my skill with words is
even more limited than my pathetic skill with a fly rod ..... so I think of
this as a book dream more than a book project, reality being it's ugly self.

I make no claims of being a good photographer, certainly none of 'art', but,
honestly, many of my photos do speak to and 'of' me ... for whatever that
is worth

well...value (like "activism" g) is a subjective thing. as i said, i
enjoy your stuff and i look forward to buying your book.

if you're looking for some other photos of the areas we love out west,
charlie choc has some i think are of publication quality. wayno, also
an excellent photographer, may have taken a photo or two during his trip
out there a few years ago - but i think he was "busy", either with a
woman, mormon children, or heart disease, so i'm unsure how much work
his camera actually got.

let me know when the geezers gather...i'll come out and pose.

Larry,

What hatch is on in picture #17 ? Sure makes my mouth water seeing all
those rises and not another fisherman in sight. Hank's crik is about a
6-7hr drive for me, but if I heard action like that was taking place, I'd
drop everything, grab my flyfishing gear, and head up there to get in on it,
even though it might just lead to frustration. I once got in on action like
that, probably only a few hundred yards from that picture location, only to
have the fish ignore any of my offerings. Though very frustrating, its sweet
frustration.

I seriously doubt there will ever be a book. I only mentioned it because,
for me, ROFF is simply a Class III to Class IV boredom relief tool. Thus,
if I'm here, I'm real bored by definition, and likely to drone on endlessly
about nearly anything, just to kill some time.

Photography seems, to me, to fall into two broad catagories .... recording
events ( taking pictures of the family at X-mas, the big fish, or most of
my 'purdy clouds' photos on my site ) ..... or producing something new that
stands by itself and somehow expresses more than the photo's subject did in
the flesh ( Edward Weston's peppers for instance ).

The closest synthesis of those in a 'fly fishing' realm I recall are
probably some of John Juracek's images ... perfect for a fishing catalog,
but much more than that, too, in the best examples.


Um, why not? here is a picture of 'Silver Creek' that I like quite a bit
but couldn't fit into a "fly fishing book' ...... most of my favorite
'fishing' photos wouldn't make it into most fishing books

See ... drone on forever .... think I'll go for a bike ride

Great pictures - as close as I'll ever get to this river.

You cut yourself short. Those are beautiful.
