Bad weather this week has driven me to do something somewhat productive. At least it will be good for a few laughs and memories.
I have been sorting through my archives (six huge rubbermaid plastic bins) of pics and slides and found some fun climbing stuff, including Woodson and Santee Bouldering Contests. (KP, watch out, you actually wore a Halloween Costume)
Also revisited our family library and paged through the books I have on rock climbing... the few left that the kids have not "borrowed".
Found a classic book, Yosemite Climber.
Question: Mike Graham, Are you the the Mike Graham on page one in the black T-shirt on the Titanic boulder problem near camp 4?
If so, has Ian seen this picture?
Found my paisley shirt boys on several of the pages. Great Book!
Pic showing TBA.

bvb- You know I don't think I included many of Dan 'cause he was always like, "no, don't include any of me", but I'd try to sneak a few in anyway.
If the ones I put together today turn out ok I'll think about doing some of Dan. I just don't want him looking down saying, "What the heck is that woman doing?" He climbed for himself. Smiles from Lynne

Maybe someone can walk me through this. I have quite a few pictures. What do you think? Maybe put 10 or so on ST per day? I think I have about 100 pic's and they are pretty much all different and fun.
Then I have tons of slides from Suicide/T. and Y. Valley. But that will have to be next year.
I JUST ASK ONE THING TONIGHT AND TOMORROW. PLEASE SEND POSTS AND PRAYERS TO THE INAKI OCHOA FAMILY THREAD, EVEN IF YOU DID NOT KNOW HIM. LOVE EXPRESSED TO A FAMILY THAT GRIEVES IS POWERFUL. MANY OF YOU DID THIS FOR ME AND IT WAS AND STILL IS INCREDIBLY HEALING!

Lynne, let us know if U need any tech support type advice...
sometimes, for 1st time scanner/uploaders
(I don't know if you've done this 100 times or none)
there's confusion about image size, meaning the scans
often default at 300ppi, images for posing online
are 72ppi.
This utility seems ideal for Windows users
to prep pix for use on the web:
http://www.irfanview.com/
seems great, free too.
(I set mine up just for pix)
Of course if you're a pro at it I apologize in advance,
not my intent to insult anyone's expertise.
cheers and have a fine evening

Raydog, I'm pretty much a learning idiot, but
1) I have my daughter Amy
2) I do know one thing, when you load a pic onto ST you need to
keep the size down so it doesn't screw up the written post.
3) I guess I may need help, so I will scream/holler if I need
help. Is that ok?

yes, if you like,
email works too... :)
Tarbuster is very good at this,
U can scream at him :)
the main thing is:
the image file (that U upload) is 72ppi.
w/ a max width of about 700 pixels,
640 seems good.
you got a photobucket account?
http://photobucket.com/
it's just a few operations really,
and a lot of fun.
psyched to check 'em out...

Sanjan, I hope you cleaned up and defraged cause the pic's are now on CD. Had them cleaned up best I could some are pretty old and they've been in the closet since at least the 1982 Bouldering Contest.
There are some great individual and group pictures. I am pretty jazzed! Tonight I'll work up the comments for the pic's. It will be a group effort tho cause there are alot of people I recognize but can't remember names or boulder routes etc. Hey, I was busy taking pictures.....and now I'm glad I did. I feel like I just won the lottery.
I may need help I can get the pic on ST but even tho you guys told me how to put the comments on I misplaced the info. So would you again be a good samaritan and either post or email. Thanks so much for you patience! lrl

Lynne,
No need to scan the photo of Mike Graham on the Titanic boulder problem. George Meyers posted an original color version here on supertopo in October 2006:

Don't have any of one like that Clint. These are pretty much original photos I took awhile back. Sure would like to have credit for such an awesome photo like the one you posted, but I think (hope) you'll like the ones I've got.
D. Hensel, KP, Waugh, RV, Maria, Mari, JB, J. Woodward, Nakahira, Euro's, Uh, I think there is even one of Largo. OK, I'm gonna stop cause I'm forgetting tons of names like bvb, think my brain dead brain figured out your code name. (Forgive me bvb I'm still in shell shock and missing Dan, but I did listen and put some of his photos in, thank you for the suggestion!!!)
So, it will be fun. I'm OUT of this Thread have a new one to post. Lynnie
Edit to Clint: Mr. Mike said he had just lost 25 pounds before this pic was taken soloing, ????which route????on El Cap??? due to bad weather??? OMG. But an incredible pic.
George Meyers gets credit for that fantastic photo. Titanic.

Sorry, Bongkie, lost my step by step instructions from Mighty Hiker, just this minute found them. I am pretty inept. I've only done this once before on ST and could not figure out how to do the message. This time I want to do it right.
Hopefully, later today. I remain excited but stupid, lynne.

Peace
ps talk to Bachar about some shoes, I got a couple pair and I LOVE them, fit my foot better than a glove and the rubber IS STICKY, (when I pulled them outa the plastic shipping bag the sole stuck to the bag!!!)

Ron, Yes we have a LARGE picture of KP in THE COSTUME, beak and all...BIG Smile! Lynnie
ps Mr. B was nice enough to e-mail me about shoes. I mailed him back but haven't heard from him. He's pretty prompt so maybe it went into never never land. I just remailed.
Thanks for the suggestion. I received a fair amount of mail saying to try his shoes. People really like them.

Thanks, Lynne - very nice. It looks like it's working.
Perhaps you have some bittersweet memories as you look at the pictures again, many years later. So thank you for sharing.
