The superstars of early Yosemite photography come together at an exhibition of 50 photographs and related items through Oct. 28 at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University in Palo Alto.

In "Yosemite's Structure and Textures," images of the valley taken by Carleton Watkins, Eadweard Muybridge and George Fiske date to the 1860s and '70s and are displayed side by side with 20th century works by Ansel Adams. Maps, guidebooks and stereo prints round out the show. Info: (650) 723-4177; http://museum.stanford.edu.
