My friend and fellow pbase photographer Tim May ( http://www.pbase.com/mityam ) were shooting together in Yellowstone. I found him here astride a boardwalk, leaning into his shot over the steaming springs along the Firehole. Although his world may seem ablaze, he is too focused on his image to care. For many visitors to Yellowstone, such as Tim, our photo tour leader Dave Wyman http://www.pbase.com/davewyman), the five other photographers who joined us there, and myself, the camera was at the very center of our experience. It was our purpose in coming. Photo-tourists see Yellowstone as a magical mixture of mist, moose, and megapixels. And it has always been that way. In fact, Yellowstone actually began drawing tourists because of the amazing pictures William H. Jackson brought back with him from the Hayden expedition of 1872.
