Hey, I love the story about your Uncle especially the glass jar as a water bottle. A decade ago I hired a young Navajo guide to take me up to Hunt's Mesa so I could get a beautiful overview of Monument Valley. Well, I don't think he knew a safe route. I found myself very precariously climbing up an extremely steep sandstone cliff trying to balance myself, my tripod, and large format camera; but it was the glass bottle of Gatorade in my pants pocket that really bothered me. My guide had one also so situated. I could just see one of us falling and bleeding to death from a femoral artery puncture. So I called off the shoot.
Don't believe I've ever seen a biker use a glass water bottle. I would love to go riding with your Uncle and his friends.
Are you still shooting with large format? That's the real deal!
