To coincide with the Yosemite Art exhibit at the Oakland Museum, Michael Krasny interviewed 2 photographers on his show today, including Ted Orland, who talked about taking pictures in Yosemite. The subject of Ansel Adams came up, of course, and Ted Orland talked about what it was like to work with him before he became an icon and what it was like to shoot in Yosemite before pictures of the place became so iconic. A discussion, too, about people who built roads in the park. It’s worth your time to listen to the entire show.
