“Transitions: Winter Into Spring” — Yosemite Exhibit

This is a reminder that “Transitions: Winter Into Spring — Photographs by Yosemite Renaissance Artist-In-Residence G Dan Mitchell and Friends” continues though this month at Gallery 5 in Oakhurst, on the southern border of Yosemite National Park.

In addition to more than a dozen of my photographs, the show includes prints from a talented group of photographic artists and friends that I invited to collaborate on the project: Jerry Bosworth, Franka Mlikota Gabler, Charlotte Hamilton Gibb, David Hoffman, Vidya Kane, and Kerby Smith.

From the Yosemite Renaissance website:

Over the past two months,  artist in residence G Dan Mitchell has been photographing Yosemite during the transition from winter into spring.  It is an unpredictable time, rich in imagery for photographers as late winter storms challenge the new growth of spring.  Wildflowers appear first, poppies and many others.  Dogwoods come next, encouraged by warming temperatures and clearing snow.  At the same time temperatures suddenly drop and snow falls in unpredictable ways. Daffodils and irises are suddenly covered in snow.  G Dan and six other photographers have done their best to capture this magical time in and around Yosemite.  The show will include over 40 works documenting the transition.  Proceeds from the exhibit will benefit Yosemite Renaissance. Please join us!

I’m going to make it a full “avian day” on Saturday, greeting the dawn and a few thousand of my avian friends in the Great Central Valley before heading on over to Oakhurst for the reception. Hope to see some of you there!

Warehouse wall, door, and window on a San Francisco pier

Photographed on one of my morning walks around portions of downtown San Francisco, this is a scene from one of the piers along the San Francisco Bay waterfront. I had made a looping walk from the Caltrain station over around portions of China Basin, eventually making my way to the old waterfront area where I photograph dilapidated piers that are decaying and falling into the Bay. Finishing with that subject, I started back along the waterfront and soon came to the entrance to this very large and active pier, and I decided to wander out onto it since there was a marked pedestrian walkway.

The first section of the pier has a roadway up the center, and it is lined with warehouse structures with loading docks and garage doors. The scene is spare and industrial, and the light was coming across the structures from the side and highlighting details and textures. Here I like the disembodied shapes of the window and roll-up door.
