The name of this site refers to the 119th Meridian West, the longitudinal axis that passes through much of the Sierra Nevada. This gallery is a "work-in-progress" -an effort to gather trip memories that are scattered among a collection of digital files, slides, negatives and prints. It's not a portfolio, or "best of" -mostly it's a personal retrospective, with choices based upon an ill-defined criterion. If nothing else, this gallery gives these photos a home, someplace other than a shoebox or an external hardrive stuffed in a file cabinet; a place in the light where they can be seen by those who care to browse. Thanks for stopping by...
