I followed the thread and respect people's different views here. As is
usual, some subtleties of expression and personalities act to evolve the
discussion. I'm unfamiliar with a number of the mentioned photographers. As
some might recall I was just in Yosemite and also visited the Ansell Adams
gallery there, purchasing a print by one of Ansell's assistants, made from
his negative. I was really privileged to be in the valley when the first
winter snow fell. For me all of the philosophy and discussion is
insignificant compared to being in that magnificent place, sharing some of
the light used so masterfully by Ansel. I don't know how anyone with a
photographic soul could be unmoved. Revel in the wild beauty of such a
place. I shall share some photographs I made as I get an opportunity to
catch up here. At least one will go to Jim for the Yearbook.
My very best wishes for the holiday season to all of my LUG friends. 


Cheers
Geoff
