I love your photos.  You pick same subjects I do, but I think yours are better.  Camera gear?

Also, I noted your other comments but compared to Q, fewer or same or more people?  I'm always after the solitude and feel I might object as much to plane noise as you do, but also on the portages and lakes.

And dare to take a photo of yourself.  You'll be glad you did.  Only took me a few years to try it.  Was inspired by a speake at Canoecopia who showed a photolog of his solo from Batch to PP (?) in spring and I think one self portratit a day - and it was good.

Thanks for sahring!
