California school children often come to Yosemite’s Pioneer village, dress in 19th century rural costumes, and live for a day as people lived during the Gold Rush era. I found this student poised just inside of the door of an old building, his head in shadow, and his toes awkwardly placed together, yet his face glows in the reflected light. The door to the past is wide open for him, yet he seems reluctant to walk through it. The glow on his face suggests that he will soon muster the courage to leave the shadows of the building and step back into the 19th century.
