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.
