There are a number of “iconic” sights around the park and the valley to photograph. A few of them I can’t help but snap every time I visit. Of them are waterfalls, cascades and other water features.
Is That What It Really Looked Like?
“To manipulate or not manipulate,” that is the question. Or is it? Is it really “fair” to modify or enhance an image in Post Production? Doesn’t that take away from the very nature of Photography? Isn’t that “cheating”?

John Muir was many things to many movements. By far, his most lasting contribution was to flora. He identified countless species of trees and flowers never before cataloged. He traveled to six of the seven continents (missing only Antarctica, as it had no trees). But our focus is on how he influenced and worked in and for, as he called it, The Yosemite.

About This Site
Hello, my name is Jeff Kreider. I snapped my first photograph in Yosemite December 24, 1979. Over the years it has become a passion. It is hard NOT to get inspired by the beauty of this park. This park is more than mere scenic opportunities; it is a virtual wonderland wrought by yesteryear. It is my goal to use this site to share, not only my experiences and photos, but also some of its history and the tales of those who forged it.Recent Posts
