Ansel Adams wasn't the only one---

[Belmondo]

He wasn't the only one hiking into the woods with his big view cameras. Darius Kinsey was a remarkable person who took stunning photos of the logging industry in the Pacific Northwest.

His work is amazing.

Thought you might get some small bit of inspiration from someone who took incredible photos in unbelievably difficult conditions.

Here are a couple sites that tell about him and show some of his work:

I hadn't heard of Kinsey.

Ansel Adams certainly had a reputation, but I don't think that he had to hump his view camera that far to get most of his famous scenes. In fact, I think he shot from his car a lot.

Galen Rowell...
Now there is somebody who took incredible photos in unbelievably difficult conditions, like at 7000 meters elevation on an avalanche slope. I was privileged to view two of his slide shows before his untimely death.

Ok I had to read that twice. I am not sure if that sounds innocent where you guys are from but in from a Canuck standpoint it sounds like fornication. Humping cameras is general considered bad form here... well at least in public. Perhaps it is a different story if you are *actually* married to your camera though.

Thanks for a late night laugh guys.

I would not have used such a crude term in such a prestigious forum as this.

Humping is also a military term for having to walk a long distance carrying a heavy load. Often used in a complaining tone of voice.

Thanks for that link 8s. I must admit I really don't know much about the people in the photography world and I would like to know more. I really like some of is work.

No problem Bob. I didn't think the meaning was intentional. Using hump as a non-offensive verb is not something I hear often.

Function: verb
transitive senses
1 often vulgar : to copulate with
2 : to exert (oneself) vigorously
3 : to make humpbacked : HUNCH
4 chiefly British : to put or carry on the back : LUG; also : TRANSPORT

If you're going to hump a view camera into the wilderness it is essential that you look the part.. take a hint from Clyde and seemingly ALL large format enthusiasts.. you must be large, heavily bearded,. and dress like Ernest Hemmingway at all times!

You must hang out in the wrong crowds :lol:

Webster Dictionary lists the definitions in a much different order than you:

Your #1 is Fourth
Your #2 is First
Your #3 is Third (a winner folks.. :D ) and,
Your #4 is First.

That would mean that you needed to discard the first 3 listed options to arrive at your selection. :shock: :?

Or is it the other way around? If you are large, heavily bearded and dress like EH all the time, then you must hump a view camera into the widerness! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

My definition is straight out of Meriam Webster. Is it not common for dictionaries to move the vulgar slang to the bottom of the list in an effort to downplay it?

Nonetheless, hump is in your dictionary as vulgar slang just as in mine so I see it as a valid interpretation. Call me morally depraved if you want, that's just the way i see it.

So if I take myself and all of my camera gear out into the desert on a Wednesday, does that make me a camel? (Because I humped my camera gear out on hump day = two humps). :roll:

Hump day is widely known in the USA - Wednesday being the middle of the week, and after that you are over the hump for the week.

One of the beauties of the English language - the same word can have many different meanings depending on its usage.

Have Fun,

[Belmondo]

---and Wednesday is called 'hump day.' What does that have to do with anything? :lol:

[eric1]

i gotta tell ya, "hump", like "pork", is a verb!

[vfilby]

I think it was the Canadian Pork board that had the slogan:

"Pork, the one you love."

Gotta love advertisers with a sense of humor.
