Photographer at the Racetrack. Death Valley National Park. April 3, 2006. © Copyright G Dan Mitchell. (Sales)
If anyone has an idea of who this photographer might be, I’d love to share a copy of this image with him. We spoke briefly, but were both so busy shooting that we didn’t properly introduce ourselves or have a chance to talk much. (Hint: He drives a red truck and shoots Nikon, and was on the Racetrack Playa in Death Valley on the evening of April 2 and the morning of April 3, 2006.)

The Online Photographer continues the Top 10 Photographs series with photo #5<, Ansel Adam’s photograph of Yosemite’s Tenaya Lake (a place I’m quite familiar with) along with a discussion of aspects of Adam’s work in general. T.O.P. is always worth reading and this is an interesting post. Although I’m don’t quite agree with all of the article’s notions about Adam’s place in photography, there are parts of it that I identify with strongly. In any case, a thought-provoking post about a wonderful image and a great photographer.
