Nice photosNice photos, Bob. And it was no problem picking you out in the summit group shot. The typewriter case was a dead giveaway.
Question: do you use some sort of color filter on your camera? Your mountain photos tend to have a grayer look to them, something that never seems to jive with my memory or my own pictures. Example:
Your Picture of Goode from Sahale
My Picture of Goode from Sahale
Saw John Roper for the first time on Wednesday at a slide show we both attended. So he's sitting there and I'm wondering if that is Bob Bolton because he's got this gray hair and beard. Well, a little while later there's a raffle and the MC asks the special guy in attendance up front to draw a ticket number out of the hat. The MC announces it is John Roper. He looks about the same age as you. Sadly, I did not get a chance to introduce myself.

Re: Nice photosThanks Paul! That's interesting. I've always thought that your pix were somewhat reddish, which never jived with my memory or my slides. 
The only filter I use is a UV-haze filter. My film scanner tends to produce a rather serious magenta shift, so I have to purposely adjust them to more look like the original slide. The natural reds in the rocks are very subtle for me, and since I tend to prefer the rocks to look a little more gray, sometimes I over-adjust a bit while getting rid of the magenta shift. Do you scan prints or slides or negatives? BTW, that's the smaller of my two typewriter cases - I don't use the big one on climbs. 
Interesting that you saw John R, and too bad you couldn't have met him. He's drjwr here, but he doesn't participate unfortunately. He's 58 I believe, so a couple of years older than me. But there's no similarity between us as regards our comparative climbing accomlishments! He's a reluctant legend in his own time IMO.

Re: Nice photos - color diffsGreat shot!
The color differences could also be attributed to the kind of film and paper used. Kodak leans to the yellow/red side, while Fuji leans to the blue side. Mixing two brands (Fuji film with Kodak paper, for instance) can cancel these effects. Also, having a processor you trust is very helpful. I've had best results using Fuji Provia slide film, and either scanning directly or printing to Kodak paper (when I'm not using digital).

Re: Nice photos - color diffsThanks Tom!
I use Provia exclusively now, which may be why that magenta shift I mentioned is so pronounced. I have a rather ancient Minolta Dimâge Scan Dual film scanner that I bought in '98. I want to upgrade to a newer scanner with better dynamic range characteristics, but I'm having trouble justifying the purchase. I rarely scan a print.
