On the trail I used the stick-pick a lot. This device allowed me to connect my camera to my trekking pole and take pictures of myself. I discovered that my camera would take three pictures in a row if I set it to continuous shutter and set the timer. So I could get three pictures for the hassle. To avoid three identical pictures I would make funny faces and/or swing the camera around.

In doing so I often captured two similar pictures with the background very slightly offset. Well the lovely thing about that is... that's how we see! So if you trick your two eyes into seeing two slightly askew images then you get a stereoscopic or 3D image to look at. That way I get to feel like I'm back on the trail.

Dang, this is cool. Too bad we didn't really catch up to you until the last day. What a blast it would've been to know you sooner and better. (Now I'm going to start work on our histogram -- (my histo -- since I didn't have it removed either). Baci!

Hey Karl! We met at the Stehekin Pastry Co and chatted for a while. You had mentioned that you could perhaps send me your copy of Yogi's guide. I'm finally getting into the nitty gritty part of planning and it could be very helpful. If you have grown fond of the guide and/or don't remember me, no worries! Happy trails.
