I was thinking that the other day when I was writing the Yosemite hike
blog - it's discouraging to try to take photos in Yosemite in that
sense, much better quality pictures have been taken by others. But
OTOH, has such illuminati as Adams or others hike down the panoramic
Trail with his own gear (and not say carry by a Sherpa)? How about the
Half Dome hike or the Death March to El Capitan? So I think sure my
photos, or most other people's Yosemite do not compare to the Greats,
but they are each their own, the little perspective from the
photographer.
