After a quick photo shoot in Valhalla in Jan 03, I returned and hooked up with Tim Curtis for an "expedition" photo trip into Camps Gulf cave TN March 22nd, 23rd, and 24th 2003. Since I now live in California, getting 200 lbs of photo gear on the plane and into the cave required some careful planning and packaging. We needed lots of help carrying all the gear and modeling in the cave, so special thanks goes to Mark Brown, Anne Durham, Kent Adams, Janice Barlow, Travis Young, and his girlfriend Carissa.
