“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!

Me. With Camera.

One advantage of shooting with other talented photographers is that every so often one of them actually produces a good photograph of me! On last weekend’s visit to the Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest and the Artist Point area, my brother Richard Mitchell (Touching Light Photography) was my guide and fellow photographer – and he made a photograph of me that I like quite a bit. Thanks, Richard!
