On the advice of a friend, I have started using Flickr for my photos. Mostly because it has a handy photo upload tool that resizes my images for me, as the native 6.1 megapixel resolution on my camera is... quite large.

I have several photos of my trip to the Black Rock Desert up there, and would be tickled if you'd let me know what you think. I particularly like this picture of me. It shows the vast horizon, the astronomical reasons we came, and gives a sense of the incredible solitude up there.

There's a difference between solitude and lonliness. I experienced incredible ammounts of both as this night wound on. But I was reminded that I have friends who would make a trek like this with me, and for that I am grateful.
