Al Golub Yosemite Collection


AA_CARD.jpg

The first time Al Golub visited Yosemite National Park, the beauty left him breathless. Many decades and hundreds of trips later, he never fails to be awed by the magnificence of the rock formations, the wonder of the waterfalls, the incomparable quality of the light in all seasons. He has photographed all aspects of Yosemite, from the accessible valley, to the more distant Nevada Falls, May Lake, Grand Canyon of the Tuolumne, through the wilderness areas only reachable by days of hiking.

Robb Hirsch GalleryRobb 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.

Walter Flint GalleryWalter 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. Walter is a former Yosemite Mountaineering School guide and P.S.I.A Nordic Ski Instructor. He has climbed many of the great granite monoliths in Yosemite Valley including the 3000 ft face of El Capitan. Walter’s photography has been widely published and he holds an A.A.S. degree in Professional Photography from Colorado Mountain College. His experience in photographing Yosemite, coupled with his history of teaching people to climb and ski make him the consummate instructor / guide for learning how to photograph the natural wonder of Yosemite.
