Anyone can go to Yosemite and make an impressive photo because Yosemite itself is impressive. In fact, you have to work at it to make a bad photograph in Yosemite. I find that kind of photography fun and even rewarding — but not much of a challenge. As an artist who wants to progress in the creative life, I find it much more useful to challenge myself with images from non-exotic locations that require more effort to see creatively.
