PG: That photo of the rock, tree and green pool of water is ichiban. That is the kind of knock out David Muench stuff that really inspires me. Partner, it doesn't get any better than that. We need a Paradise Mountain Photo studio up here so you, Biker and Pho can sell photos.

Skibiscuit: You are in the club for being a packer. More mule photos to come before Mule Days.

Thanks for your kind words Windy. The wife will retire soon and maybe we can combine the Studio with outdoor eating at OGC and his fine BarBQ/Smoked meats business. Of course OGT would have to run the Cafe but think of all the money we would make after word got out...I think that would be a good side investment to go along with the Studio...

Have PHo run the studio, because he runs one now and has the experience already, with all three of us showing our various works in the big room. After we established ourselves we could bring in Windy with his showing of the archeology site photographs to document the local history. And then the next phase would be to start showing unknown local photographers and thier work to promote the home grown talent. Thie idea is a no brainer.

The loan didn't go through for my purchase of June Mountain, so I should be able to swing a loan for the Studio and Cafe to get everything started...

Thanks for the idea Windy...

My "Family Tree" 1950. Camping in The High Sierra Mt.s my Grandmother ,Father, Uncles and Aunt. My Grandfather took the photo. Thanks to him we have these great photos for memories . My Uncle is getting all the slides turned into digital images for us all to share. The Sierra Mt.s are in my blood. I wonder if the tree is still standing there???? I hope so !!!

You know PG I have always thought that the old HiLo gas station right at the Y that is always vacant would be the perfect place for an organic food restaurant/cafe thing. I never dreamed of the photography aspect that could surround the entire enterprise. There is no doubt in my mind that this type of business in that location would succeed. I saw it happen in Tahoe with that really cool organic restaurant and bakery in the old white building at the Y. Outside of SF that was the best organic food restaurant I have ever had the pleasure of eating in. A bunch of times, too.

I want to eat food made by organic mamas, because there is nothing better in this world. The beverage thing is cool, too.

Dang it all, let me switch off the TV, because I just want to wolf a lentil burger.

OGT may want to get involved but you better make sure that those organic mamas I'm talkin' about with the healthy bosom
are serving and at the counter. We could find them easy out at Buttermilk or Great Basin Bakery.

^^^I am always amazed looking at rockclimbing/mountaineering pictures. Seeing people in the photos put themselves up on those extremes. And then there's the guy taking the photo. Capturing the moment while being in the extreme at the same time
