As a resident of Yosemite, I am fortunate to meet extraordinary people who also have a deep connection with this place. This ongoing series is meant to spotlight remarkable people who’ve had a positive impact on my life in this glorious park.

I once was up at Tunnel View and saw a young man with a video camera on his shoulder. “You wouldn’t happen to be YosemiteSteve, would you?” I called out.

“I am–are you Ambitious Wench?” We laughed, chatted a bit. This brief encounter was the result of having “met” Steve via Twitter, the first place I had encountered his work.

Steve works for NPS, and produces thoughtful, informative and beautiful videos for Yosemite Nature Notes. You can follow YNN updates on Twitter

Give Steve a shout out next time you see one of his videos!
