George Fiske was an early photographer of Yosemite and the first one to live full time at Yosemite Valley. Like so many photographers of that era, not many of his images survive to this day; just a few prints and stereoscopic cards. Twentieth century photographer Ansel Adams held him in high regard.
Back to the Park
There is always something (it seems) I need to research. I have been trying to get back to the park since November, but things just kept getting in the way. Though I still have stuff to research, I was treated to a nice day of photography
More Posts at Yosemite Tales Coming Soon
I have been working on a number of tales and they are all in various states of incompleteness. The subject matters of these posts, for the most part, are very much intertwined with each other. As I unveil a fact for one tale, it reveals issues with another. Additionally, I really need to get back to Yosemite to pick up more information. So, while I continue to work on these details, I’ll share with you some “previews” of what those tales are.
My Brief Trip To Yosemite!
My shortened trip was productive anyway. I found some interesting details on the early park. I re-visited the Pioneer Cemetery and, outside the park, visited the home of John Muir.
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
