Yosemite and Photography

On this day in 1890 Yosemite opened as a national park. (Coincidentally, Yosemite is closed today, because the national government has shut down.)

Ansel Adams created the best known images of Yosemite. However, he is not the only well known photographer to make pictures of Yosemite.

Pop Laval, a Central Valley photographer, started photographing Yosemite nearly 100 years ago. How did he make money? Did Yosemite pay him?

Who makes the most interesting photographs of Yosemite now? How are the images created? Are photographers paid to photograph Yosemite? If you were photographing Yosemite, what would you do? What would you want to do?
