- 17. Mesa slide show I did, early 1990s, dupes by GAMMA in Chicago. Again, dupes aren't bad, and most images on this page are decent. (20 slides)

General
18 SLEEVES. Michael, me, and crew climbed Tres Orejas, then visited a stock pond. They filmed me taking pictures of the mesa and ponds. These are the transparencies I took. Documentary, aired on "Colores," is wonderful. Box includes 3 sleeves of a mesa slide show that I had duped by Gamma in Chicago. Not bad dupes, not a bad mesa show.
