Edie Howe, who operates the Little Red Tent blog is offering quite inexpensive prints of some of her work from Yosemite and beyond. If you don’t know about Edie, she has lived in the Valley for some time and she generously shares her knowledge of the Valley with visiting photographers. (Some of you may remember her stream of posts about photographing Horsetail Fall last year.)
A New Host… And a New Start?
After dealing with a non-responsive and arbitrary hosting company for the past month, things finally reached a breaking point this week when they took my site off-line without any warning and then failed to respond to my tech support emails.
I’m with a new hosting company now.
I believe that all of the text content made it over from the old site, but I’m quite sure that many images – especially older ones – did not. I’m still thinking about the best way to handle this. I may try to reconstruct the image links in the thousands of older posts that included them, or I may just delete them and gradually repost the best of those photographs in an updated format.
I’m afraid that site memberships were not successfully transferred. Please accept my apology for this, and visit the site membership page to find out about re-registering.
In one bit of good news, it does appear that the old RSS feed is still working.

Cascade on Lee Vining Creek on an autumn afternoon following an early snowfall.
I’ll make the text short this time since yesterday’s post included the same photo – and the backstory – in color. So this is a black and white version of the same photograph from Lee Vining Canyon. I thought I’d try this since a) there wasn’t really a lot of color in the scene and b) the “cold” effect of the scene seems to work fairly well either way.

Cascade on Lee Vining Creek on an autumn afternoon following an early snowfall.
On my second trip to the eastern Sierra this fall – a much less successful trip than the first one a week earlier – I visited Lee Vining Canyon in the late afternoon, after the sun had retreated behind the very high peaks around Tioga Pass, leaving the bottom of the canyon in shadow. My last stop in the canyon was at this well-known cascade near the Bend campground. I did several long exposures of the cascade so that the water would diffuse. As you can see, the fall foliage here was less spectacular than in some other years, but the recent snow on the branches and the creek bank along with the frozen water under the overhang at the upper right created a wintery quality in the scene.
