    Just a quick standard intro… long time reader, first time poster.

    I’ve been on various boards under a variety of names for a long time and recognize a bunch of names here…

    I’m in the Boise, ID area and my main interests are fishing and photography, and especially love when the two are combined.  Don’t fish nearly as much as I want- kids and job and all that… but no complaints here.

    I mostly shoot with my D70, but I learned on film and still love it.  The Canon AE-1 stills sees action and my favorite new toy is a mint Mamiya c220 6×6 TLR w/ 55mm and 80mm lenses.

    I mostly browse the photo forum and have learned a ton from everyone here.  A few photos from a trip to Jellystone this fall:

    Tight lines,

    Hi Josh, nice shots.

    I love the waist level 120’s though it’s been a long time since I had one.

    Do you ever take yours out fishing ?

    I bet the 55 is a great lens for shooting streams on the square..

    A picture is thousand words that takes less than a second while a thousand words is a picture that takes a month.

    There is something really special about the view through a waistlevel finder once you get used to the whole backwards thing.  I haven’t had the guts to take it on the stream yet- the 55mm lens brings a premium (relatively speaking) and the whole camera is just so gorgeous I’d hate to send it for a swim.  Charles Linday’s entire book Upstream was shot through a TLR (a Rolleiflex i think) and I love the results, so I will give it a shot here before too long…. the 55 would be a perfect focal length!

    tell me about that bear pic

    how far, where (jellystone?) etc.

    is it true you don’t have to outrun the bears, just the people you are with?

    Welcome Josh.

    Re: Grizzly Photo
    I had a ranger at Brooks Camp tell me that the “lip curl” of a grizzly is a sign that the animal is stressed. In otherwords, he/she is uncomfortable with your presence. Looks like you captured the lip curl nicely. Glad to see you emerged unscathed 🙂

    Beautiful cutt…..Lamar River?

    Nice photos….keep ’em coming.

    I cheated a little on the bear… she was at the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center in West Yellowstone… very cool way to see bears up close… that was taken w/ my Sigma 100-300mm f4 at probably 30 feet or so.

    Here’s one of the males:

    The cutt was from Slough Creek… what an amazing place.
