I ran across today's picture while cleaning up some older stuff. Back when I was in college I spent many weekends crawling around inside the local limestone caves. For those who were willing to carry two or three heavy ammo boxes filled with cameras and flashbulbs (and take a chance on destroying your gear) the images were wonderful. You could actually see more in the photographs because the lighting was actually better (most of the time in the cave you were restricted to the beam of your flashlight or headlamp). You would typically put your camera on a tripod and then walk around setting off your flash unit. Needless to say it was a hit-and-miss technique. Too many of these caves have been vandalized over the years--a real shame.
