Yosemite Photo Gallery -Y explore Yosemite Adventures

Walter Flint is 25 year resident of Yosemite National. Born in Milwaukee Wisconsin, Walter first traveled to Yosemite in 1981 when he completed a 790-mile solo hike of the Pacific Crest Trail from Yosemite Valley to the California – Oregon Border. His love of backpacking first brought him to the Western United States and that love of wilderness travel got him interested in landscape and nature photography. The photography of Galen Rowell provided inspiration for learning how to move beyond just taking pictures and how to express emotions and feelings in reflection to what was being photographed.

Robb Hirsch prefers to photograph away from the crowds, often visiting previously scouted locations off the beaten path. Photography is part of the wilderness experience for him, and by spending considerable time exploring, scouting and waiting for the right light, he becomes more in tune with the area, ultimately culminating in more evocative images. Robb works very carefully in the field with techniques to properly capture the moment, minimizing time needed in front of a computer to “fix” problems. Robb’s images are known for their compelling subjects, careful compositions and fine light.

In 2002, Robb and his wife started Mountain Sage, a combination art gallery and plant nursery and gardens, just outside Yosemite National Park, in Groveland. His photography is also on display online at robbhirschphoto.com.
