Michael Gordon made this candid shot during our June Fun Hog expedition to the Tuolumne Meadows Sierra in Yosemite.

During this trip, Michael coined a new acronym: PAL, or Photo Adventure Loafing.

We did our best to explore the finer points of the intitial concept, and I am here to report that we suceeded!

All the best to all my friends here at NPN!

When I first saw this in CANP several weeks ago, the first title that came to mind was, "Rebel without a cause." Cool.

Nice to finally put a face with the name. "Rebel without a cause"? PAL sounds like a pretty "cause" to me. Looks like you and Michael were having a great time.

It's great to finally "meet" you, Preston. PAL sounds like just my kind of thing. Glad you and Michael had a nice trip!

Hi All,

Yep, PAL is as good a 'cause' as any: Works for me!

John, I had to do the old 'hop-skip-jump' from stone to stone, and with my camera pack and tripod, no less. I think MG was secretly hoping that I'd fill my boots.

Marc: You're not the first who has said that I resemble 'Hulk'. Only trouble is, he's got bigger arms than me!

It's really nice to look at the photos of NPNers! I'd sure like to see more!

Best regards to All!

Hey Preston, nice scene and looks like a good time here. I'll post my photo next time the Hubble lens is up for rent and sheet film comes in 4'x8' sheets at Home Depot.......

Hey, good to see you, Preston! Always appreciate your insightful comments in the discussions.
I can't believe where your backpack is! Are you kidding me? That is something I could/would never do! All my gear would surely end up in the drink... probably along with me. Good photo.
