Ansel Adams - Yosemite


A good article with some phots:
* travel.nytimes . com /2008/04/27/travel/27journeys.html?hp

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

Cheers,
Alan.

Will you be in the Yosemite area 2nd half of July?

Unfortunately, no. * But it would definitely be fun to perhaps cross paths
someday. Actually, I was referring to the oft-reproduced Cedric Wright photo
that opened the above referenced article.

Looks just like me and *my* 8x10 these days. Umm... except for the (very
cool) car... the hat... the beard... the location... the background... oh
yeah, and that pesky talent thing...

* I, too, have avoided - refused, actually - to ever visit Yosemite. I am one
of those souls Mr. Crosby refers to in the article. I have a dread of driving
through the valley for the first time and seeing only parking lots, buses,
trash, air pollution, screaming kids, blaring radios, and half-eaten peanut
butter sandwiches tossed along the roadside. I would definitely have to
consider killing myself.

I have few doubts about your talent. I've threatened to rent a Horseman
or some such, but never get around to it.

That's one advantage to the way we're going about this... the less
traveled trails is where we'll be, no vehicles. (This violates the
rule: "If it's more than 500 ft from the car, it's not photogenic" that
too many photogs seem chained to.)

You mean you guys actually get out of the car?
That must suck.

I don't believe you are allowed to drive on the valley floor anymore.....You
have to park outside the park, and take their shuttle busses the rest of the
way......A great improvement over the way it used to be. - I am looking
forward to the day when the same rule applies to the United States as a
whole.....:^)

You can travel in the park via personal vehicle, bicycle, tour bus.
