Valley view: Alta City, Little Cottonwood, Utah, in 1873. O'Sullivan's
amazing eye and work ethic allowed him to compose photographs that
evoked the vastness of the West that future generations would come to
recognise in the work of Ansel Adams and in the films of John Houston
Let's assume you were an old west trapper...a successful one. One whose party had hundreds of pounds of furs, perhaps tons of furs...and the season was not yet over.
Where could you secure hundreds of pounds of furs that you had trapped so you could go to the next trapping area?
If you left them in a large pile, Indians might steal them; so might other trappers.
After thinking about it, you could bury them in a secure place (perhaps a riverbank) for safekeeping. Yep, in caches. (Aha you say, "So is that where Cache Valley, Utah got its name?") Um-hmmm, probably.
So, what's a "light" cache? The place where I store ideas, thoughts, pictures and promptings that I intend to save until I can share them more completely with others.
Yes, you may peek and ponder to your heart's desire! These "furs" won't be sold for money.
My only request is that you ponder each for what they may mean to you and those you love.
