A tribute
from George's wife Cheryl |

"The
first view was perfectly glorious. A massive cloud of pure pearl
luster, apparently as fixed and calm as the meadows and groves in the
shadow beneath it, was arched across the Valley from wall to wall, one
end resting on the grand abutment of El Capitan,
the other on
Cathedral Rock."
John Muir, The Yosemite |

George converted from color to black & white
photography after viewing a selection of Ansel Adams' prints in Yosemite, an encounter
that prompted him to begin a quest to understand and refine the art of the black and white
print. |

Merced River at Sundown
It was made with a 28mm
Elmarit, 20 minutes at f22. The light was very low
late in the afternoon.
Film was Ilford's PanF Plus
developed in ID-11.

This image was made very near that of the first but in the winter.
Used a 35mm Summicron, 1/4
second at f16. Focus was placed approximately ten feet behind the tree to maintain
sharpness throughout the image.
Film was Ilford's PanF Plus
developed in ID-11.
