Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. A blurry photograph of Charlie Stavnow either kneeling or wading through the tall grasses that line the bank of Convict Creek to fish for trout. He is in profile right-of-center and faces towards the left. The creek winds from the upper left side of the image, juts out to the right and then winds down to the lower left corner. Charles is on the right of the creek. An open, grassy meadow stretches behind Stavnow and the creek towards snow-covered mountains that rise at center and left. Text from negative sleeve: Hilton Creek, Calif. About 1920. Al Schmitz, Charlie Stavnow, Elmer Cole, H.H.West, with H.H.West's Cadillac. We camped in the rocks where Hilton Creek crossed the old lower road close to Owens River. Snow all around us. Bitter cold, and very windy. We put up a tarpaulin between the rocks to break the wind so as to have a fire to cook. Stavnow went thru the snow to his arm pits on the bank of Magee Creek. 2 views of the camp. Charlie Stavnow fishing in Convict creek on the meadow. Charlie Stavnow with two fine trout out of Convict creek. 4 films.
