While it would be quite easy to guess that gasoline was my number one expense on this trip I think it might surprise you what ranked second... film developing. I took over a thousand pictures of the course of 35 days. I've pulled out about 20 photos for you to enjoy. It's really just a teaser. In the next couple of weeks a lot more of them will be showing up on my own website Craptasia.

All of these shots were taken with a Minolta STsi using a 28-80mm lens with a polarizer or a 70-210mm zoom. Although you don't see any shots here I also took along a Nikon F2020 with a 28mm fixed lens to take slides and a Canon FTb with a 50mm fixed lens for black & white shots. Development and scanning were done by Black's. Luckily Black's has a bulk development rate that saved me over $220.

I guess I'm back in the swing of things now and I realize that the Doukhabours had it all wrong Another Grain Elevator

 . What kind of religion advocates work? Why can't vacationing bring you closer to God?

Time to roll the credits...

Thank you Kyle McCauley for the use of the digital camera.

Thank you Robert Shechter for the camera (Nikon F2020), camera bag, tripod, slide film, vest, and great knowledge of photography. If you want to see some great travel shots please visit Robert's website at RobertPhoto.ca.

Thank you Garry Sowerby for inspiration and wisdom. If you want to read about Garry's trip from Tiera Del Fuego to Prudhoe Bay check out "Road Fever" by Tim Cahill.

Thank you Fu Manchu. For those of you who want to know about how the Mongoose got its name, it's fairly simple. Each car I've owned ended up being named because of the first song I ever heard on its stereo. That song happenned to be Mongoose by Fu Manchu for my Mazda Protege5.

The story lies behind
The Mongoose flies on by
Out on the streets they ride
