The Five Realities of Yosemite

For me, Yosemite is represented by at least five realities.

There is the Yosemite that exists whether or not I'm there.

There is the Yosemite that exists in my imagination, before I arrive.

There is the Yosemite I experience with my senses when I'm there.

There is the Yosemite of my memory, after my visit.

And there is the Yosemite of my photographs, perhaps the only type of reality which can contain the other realities within its embrace. These pictures were made during two photography workshops I conducted in May, 2004.

I know that you have been photographing countless times in Yosemite and what I love, after being on three of your workshops, is the enthusiasm and freshness you bring to each trip for yourself as a photographer. This gallery shows how you continue to see the park in new and unusual ways.
