The New 100 Prints Project
A new photograph every third day, for a year.
This project has 100 images so far. This image added 31 Jul 2009.
Viewpoint, Lower Salt River Canyon, Arizona, 2009
I remember the first time I pulled into the Wawona Viewpoint and looked back into Yosemite Valley. I said outloud, "Of course," standing where Ansel Adams made his wonderful Clearing Winter Storm image from right there, probably in the parking lot of the roadside turnout. One need not always suffer for art. Sometimes the tourist spots are the perfect place from which to make an image. Be that as it may, it is still up to us to select the light, the composition, the moment. I can only hope that this image captures that feeling of setting sun on a hot day with a fraction of the success Adams' had in capturing the foggy, wet storm in his image.
