George Fiske was another early Yosemite photo pioneer. He was one of the first photographers to own a studio in the valley and live there year round. Tragically, he took his own life. Most of his negatives were destroyed when his house caught fire. The rest were collected by the Yosemite conservancy and stored in a sawmill attic.
Years later they asked a young apprentice photographer named Ansel Adams to go through the negatives and see what he could find. Adams responded they were the finest early photographs he had seen, far superior to Watkins and Muybridge's photographs. Adams urged that the photographs be taken from the old sawmill and be stored safely in the vaults below the Yosemite Museum. Sadly, he was ignored. Then one day, say it with me, the sawmill caught fire and all the negatives were destroyed.

Did they at least salvage any good pictures of burning buildings?

I don't know why they didn't just whip out their Brownies and fire off a few snaps.

The first draft of Chapter 7 is complete. What a pain in the butt. One chapter left to write about Hetch Hetchy.

" The reservoir will not destroy Hetch Hetchy. The prime change will be that instead of a beautiful but somewhat unusable 'meadow' floor, the valley will be a lake of rare beauty"
--Secretary of the Interior James Garfield.

Unusable meadow floor? Surely they could put a mobile home park in there…

Come on! Lake of Rare Beauty. Who doesn't want that?

The fistfights are rather uncomely, too.

Yep. Northside drive is closed. Southside is open to two way traffic.
RE: Yosemite Movie Project Notes - Greg - 04-24-2023
That took forever but Chapter 8 (The Final Chapter) is complete. Time for the project to have a little rest while I give in to the Ireland Trip Geas.
