From 1902-1907, Harold A. Taylor photographed Yosemite, operating out of his Studio of the Three Arrows in Yosemite Valley, and using dry glass plate negatives. Glass plate negatives, though fragile and heavy, permit stunning clarity and depth of light-and celluloid would all but replace them by the late 1920s.
Vintage Yosemite displays Taylor's sensibility to Yosemite's grand views. We watch light move through giant sequoias, across rock faces, and along rivers, streams, lakes, and waterfalls. Together with visitors, wagons, and cabins of the era, we experience Yosemite as it was over one hundred years ago.
Vintage Yosemite reveals subtleties of transformation and rhythms of magnificence.
