Now I didn't say that, did I? I live in Chicago, one of the most famously photographed cities in the country, if not the world. If I thought that, I'd never take my camera out, and somehow I still do.
Your and Vaughn's perspectives on Yosemite definitely gave me something to think about. I only visited it once, decades ago, but what I saw was stunning even without venturing too far from the tourist areas. I could easily see myself spending a lot of time there, just for the experience of it, whether taking pictures or not, so I'm definitely not judging people who do. My original comment was about whether a landscape photographer would be better off finding their own space rather than retreading the same ground (physically) as earlier artists, and certainly wasn't meant to denigrate the work of those who choose to photograph often photographed places.
