DEATH VALLEY
by TIM WALKER
In my last weekend of winter vacation I decided to make a trip by my lonesome to Death Valley National Park for some landscape and nature photography. Unfortunately my car overheated driving on 190 over Towne's pass. I barely managed to make it over the last hump of the pass and to my campsite, from there I spent over $100s in collect calls from the only payphone, and managed to get towed to Bishop California. Fortunately my whole trip-really a saga at this point-wasn't ruined and I still managed to bring back 666 photos (freaked me out when I read the total). Anyway, here are some of my favorites:
