Billowing Clouds

Ansel Adams was one of the most outstanding landscape photographers and one of my favorites. Looking up to someone can be a great motivator but also an inhibitor. I always hope that my pictures show something special. However, as soon as I compare them with other photographers' work, I cannot help but feel a bit defeated. It can be daunting to admire others while keeping confidence about what you produce. All I can hope for, is to get better with every shot.
