WOW! Nathanm, those photos by Jim Galli are stunning!
When I got out of college eons ago, my interest in photography lead me to work at a local portrait photography studio. They had large format cameras there & I got to play around with them and develop the b&w film in their darkroom. Seeing Jim Galli's work brought back lots of enjoyable memories!
Additionally, looking at the photos the landscape looked vaguely familiar. When in college I was lucky enough to visit and hike in the Sierra Nevada mountains across from Death Valley where lots of his photos were taken. He even mentions a place where I stayed in the desert. "Lone Pine." In fact, our group of hikers stayed in the only local "hotel" (actually just a large house) the week before a couple of Charlie Manson's group were rounded up, I discovered later upon reading the book Helter Skelter!
I don't know how you found Jim's website but going to it sure made my evening, bringing back 40 year old memories from one of the best summers in my life! Never would have expected that from visiting audio circles!
