Yosemite and Photography

     Pop Laval was one of the official photographers of Yosemite National Park and other memorial parks in California however they did not pay him directly. Besides Ansal Adams who photographed Yosemite in the past,I have found a photographer, Phil Hawkins, with very interesting and beautiful pictures of Yosemite National Park. His photos can be found at Phil Hawkins' Yosemite Photos. In his descriptions of his photos Hawkins talks about the difficulties and patience it took to create these wonderful photos. He does photography workshops in Yosemite so he does get paid. If I were to photograph Yosemite I would try to take a similar approach as Hawkins as in how he streams and uses light in his photos. I would want to take pictures of each season at the same and different times of day. While also capturing animals in the scenes because of my interest in them.
