In Yosemite’s Pioneer Cemetery, I found the 1867 grave of John Anderson, who has surely become by now part of the root system of this giant redwood tree. This connection prompted me to place my 24mm wideangle lens virtually on the redwood itself and using it to fill half the frame as a diagonal anchor, I shoot straight down on the gravestone. This vantage point forever links both Mr. Anderson to this tree – an incongruous pairing. (Another incongruity is the gravestone’s graphic description of Mr. Anderson’s demise. A horse killed him.)
