Yosemite images 1903 and 2013.
Jan 16, 2017 17:03:44 #
The B&W images were taken by a French artist who photographed Yosemite in the early 1900 and used the images to create oil paintings. I found these 8x10 glass plate negatives at the flea market years ago, they were identified by Ron Partridge, the son of Imogen Cunningham member of Ansel Adams group. I taught it would be interesting to go back and try to find the same spot to show what difference 110 years make. One can see some of the same trees are still standing.

No elephants in Yosemite, only bears.

Thank you very much, it sure was a lot easier for me, drive up and just a little hike, the other guy had to use a mule to carry his stuff over a trail.

Thank you very much, like on the second image the trees are taller now and block more of the view.
