travel.nytimes.com — Adams first visited Yosemite in 1916 when he was 14 years old. On that trip, he hopped up on a tree stump to take a photo of Half Dome, then stumbled, headfirst, and accidentally pushed the shutter release. The upside-down image remained one of Adams’s favorites, he wrote in his autobiography.

We got to spend 24 hours with Michael Adams, Ansel's son, and we did lots of live cell phone videos: <a class="user" href="http://scobleizer.com/2008/04/26/kodak-moment-following-ansel-adams-footsteps/">http://scobleizer.com/2008/04/26/kodak-moment-foll ...</a>

Ansel was incredible with a camera, he saw what film wanted to see, and then figured out how to show us that image. He used very unconventional methods to get exactly the image he felt. When one studies photography the word exposure is never clear until you read his books. Photography is a very technical art, and no one brought those two points together like Ansel. He truly was a gift to the world.

A fabulous reminder of how important the accident can be to creativity. A wonderful reminder of a lovely place I visited last year in conjunction with the Yosemite Writers' Conference. Yum!
