Verna,

Just kidding with that -- we would only gain completed images that we didn't
take.  I think the art and of course the joy of each image is in the trip -
the journey that's the "art" part of it all.

Verna,

Being from Georgia and having had the opportunity 2 years ago to spend 21
days in Oregon and the Olympic rain forest in Washington - well I'm envious.

But this leads me to a suggestion.  Why don you start driving East shooting
as you go and I'll take off with my travel trailer behind the Tahoe shooting
my way West.  Let's meet half way and exchange 1/2 of out exposed negatives
with each other --- this way we will both save 1/2 on our driving?

Hi Everybody!

I'm Verna Knapp, and I live at the edge of civilization (sort of) in
western Oregon, about 30 miles out of Corvallis. I do 4x5 and 5x7, color
transparencies exclusively so far. My equipment is Canham.

I do almost entirely nature photography and scenics. Recently I got a
4x4 conversion van for going into the rougher areas. My idea of a good
time is to spend a week in the National Forests of this state and expose
a hundred or so sheets of Velvia and another 100 or so of Provia 100F.
Move from place to place as impulse takes me.

I also have a day job as a software engineer, and an alter identity as a
belly dancer. Makes for a well rounded life.

This summer I'm considering driving across the USA, west coast to east
and back again, spending about half the time shooting. I have some
family to visit on the east coast, so that takes part of the time. I
have in mind Oregon to New Hampshire, sticking to the northern part of
the country. I will have to take some time off without pay to do it, so
I'm limited to about a month total travel time. The furthest I've gone
before was Oregon to Fargo North Dakota, and that was a wonderful trip.

Ideas and suggestions for places to go and see are welcome!

Verna
