Being a San Francisco Bay Area resident, I’m aware of the work of Chronicle/SFGate photographer Frederic Larson, especially his “Mystical Photography” photoblog that features daily photographs from around the Bay.

For our first episode of PhotoCycle we visit Yosemite Valley with Ansel’s son Michael Adams. Michael tells us about Ansel’s process, workflow and his joy of being a photographer.
