Ansel Adams - Yosemite

A good article with some phots:

I'll be in Yosemite for 4 days this summer, though mostly not where AA
trekked.

Cheers,
Alan.

Wasn't that EW(?): "Anything more than 50ft from the road
is not photogenic."

From what I read, AA scrambled all over the place -
mule in tow. Mule packing camera, glass plates,
tripod, iron fry pan, 30 lb canvas tent, 20 lb axe,
2 dozen eggs, 5 lb bacon, sack of flour, sack of potatoes ...

I think you are right. I was wrong.

Clearly neither of you has read *California and the West* by Charis Wilson,
E. Weston's model, lover, wife, and ex-wife. Most folks - me included -
would not think of Lake Ediza even today as being with 50 feet from the
road. May I respectully suggest that you both read this book and then - and
only then - return to the subject at hand.

sure, I will...if that gets you reading *California and the West* so that
you can thereby gain a better appreciation of both Adams and Weston than you
obviously currently have, you having made the statements you have.

Glad to see someone give credit to the correct Weston. I've pretty much
lived (photographed) by his credo since my 8x10 days. At my current age
and health I still adhere to it with my current DSLR "stuff".

Best,
Dave

Which of course doesn't make his (Weston's) assertion any less absurd. I
suppose in his case the only excuse one could make is that he was always
able to find photogenic stuff that close to the road.

I've stood in the very place where AA planted his tripod here in the
Berkeley hills (for his shots of UC Berkeley looking over the bay), and
believe me, it's a hell of a lot more than 50 feet from any road.
