Candid photograph of Jesse Brown looking up from his cooking while at the campsite near Gull and June Lakes. He stands, hunched over, left-of-center and holds a cup from his dangling hand. His body faces right and he looks to the camera. Behind him at center, a pot sits on the camp stove. The trunk of a tree stands at left behind Jesse. He and H. H. are camped at the base of a hillside that rises to the right.
Text from negative sleeve: 564. Convict Lake - Gull Lake, about 1920. The road from Deadman canyon to Gull Lake was so poor we could only get to the edge of the lake, and made camp there, right at edge of snow. It was bitterly cold, and snow all around. Wind blew hard. Here are couple pictures of Jesse Brown cooking. I was wearing my overcoat. 2 negatives.
