Something is always happening on a river, even if you never see a BWO or rising trout, or invest a couple hours fruitlessly stripping a streamer.
Moving water is a dynamic medium, and just like no two snowflakes are alike, I’d venture it never washes along the shores of the Upper Sacramento exactly the same way twice.
When the fish aren’t biting, these things occur to me, and I noticed the water right at my feet glinting bright gold. The overhead sky was reflecting blue onto the flatter water, but the low-on-the-horizon sunlight blasted the far shore, so any water rearing up even a little bit burned bright gold.
A few frames and a little contrast enhancement later, the Underground offers you close-up photographs of one man’s home river – abstracted blue and gold:
See you on the river (looking at my feet), Tom Chandler.
Once again you are on the leading edge…………….. In the first frame of The Underground Rorschach Test, I saw the image of a sad clown and will now be able to confront my fear of open loops. In the second frame, I saw the image of a billionaire pointing to get out of his stream. What does that mean?

Nice job. Can I get those in 36″ wide prints? They would look fantastic on my living room wall.

Problem is, there are a lot of different screen sizes out there, and when I got requests from folks to send a big file, I also ended up serving as tech support for getting them sized, etc. Wish there was an easy way to handle it.
