Seen to the right of me in the center picture is Jim Nelson,
owner of Pro Mountain Sports in Seattle. (Check out their ultra
light mountain gear). This is on the
summit of Mt. Adams, 12,276 feet, in Washington State. In the
background is Mt. Rainier, 14,411 feet in altitude. Probably 20
to 30 people visited the summit that day, and I gave my camera to
one of them to take the picture of the two of us. The flag and
banners were there already and as you can see, it was very windy
and on the cold side. I call this photo "Dos Amigos on Mt.
Adams". We and another party came up from the north;
everybody else came up from the south. It was 50 years earlier to
the day that I climbed Pinnacle Peak, a satellite peak of Mt.
Rainier which can be spotted with binoculars from this point. The
following view from our stock photo library was the original
photo appearing on this home page.
Where the accent is on
Nature
This view of frost on vine maple leaves
(#404621 - as it appeared on the cover of Sierra Magazine) was
taken early on a cold clear October morning on the east side of
the Cascade Mountains of Washington State in Wenatchee National
Forest.

Blossoms is ALL humor.) Please send check or money order

The price of each chapbook (including shipping) is $8.00; for

The covers of Chortle Blossoms and
Rays of Light feature Ed's
photos (pansies in Shore Acres State Park, OR and trail on
Slide Mountain in the Catskills, NY). The illustration on
the cover of Observations of a Dinosaur is the
work of Marie Summers of Shadow Poetry, publisher and website for
poets. The cover of Venus on the Half Shell
features the famous painting by Sandro
Botticelli, the Manx cat on the cover of
Talking Back is the work of CarrieAnn
Thunell, also the cover art of
Feline/Canine (with dog drawn by Sandy
Ellis).

WHAT'S
NEW: CHAPBOOKS AND PHOTOGRAPHY
A new page is being added to the
website--MOUNTAINS. Always one of Ed's favorite subjects for
photography, this page features beautiful mountain photographic
portraits as well as a few historical photographs.
For the first time in over 35 years, Ed is now offering prints of
his photography for sale. The prints are made on a high
end pigment based Epson printer. These
prints are made from digital scans made at from 2400
dpi to 4800 dpi on a high end scanner. The file sizes range
up to 300 megabytes and more. The final prints are virtually
indistinguishable from traditional wet darkroom prints, and the
digital darkroom has provided controls over the image in
ways undreamed of in the traditional wet
darkroom. Every print will be made by Ed
personally.
