DEAN FIDELMAN - YOSEMITE IN THE FIFTIES - THE IRON AGE
At the young age of 15 in Southern California, Dean Fidelman began climbing and taking photographs. Dean fell in with a group of young climbers, which included John Long, John Bachar, Yabo and Lynn Hill, the Stone Masters. He began to document this period of climbing in California, the people and the lifestyle. Dean is well known for his Stonemasters books including Yosemite in the Sixties, The Valley Climbers and Stone Nudes.
Companion to the classic Yosemite in the Sixties, Dean's newest release, Yosemite in the Fifties - The Iron Age, uses the words of the climbers of the time and artfully restored photographs to chronicle the historic first ascents of Yosemite’s “mile-high” granite walls, the legendary personalities who risked their lives to climb them, and how their endeavors initiated the birth of adventure sports.
Yosemite in the Fifties gives the stage almost entirely over to the original source material, the first-person narratives, archive photos (artfully restored), and memorabilia particular to the seminal ascents of the era. These words, images, and design, when cast from critical angles, all reach across generations to resurrect vanished worlds. Yosemite in The Fifties is fashioned not so much as a book but as a wormhole back to an enchanted time in the history of exploration, and a classic era of Americana now lost in time.

I got a chance to look through this amazing book at Facelift and I'd just like to say that they are keeping the bar raised super high for historical climbing literature mixed with high design. A great book that I really look forward to getting!

When men were really men and women were really women.
Not like today when men all want to become women and women all want to become men ......

GUYMAN!
No one else is gonna say it, apparently.
That is one hell of a shot of the artist as a young man, sir.

DEAN.... looking fwd for that, going to get one at the show...
And Mouse... yes, I was lucky to get that one. I never had a camera, to expensive... but I was able to use my Moms and get her to pay for the slides.
I really wish I had used it more.... unlike Dean who takes photographs, I just pointed and pressed the button.
Here is another one of my lucky shots....
What fashion statements.

If you're out there, Dean, would you let us Christmas Shoppers know the quickest easiest way to purchase your book? Unfortunately our local gym does not carry it. Cheers
