Me vs Ansel Adams

This last Christmas, I took a trip to the Grand Canyon and took some pics and upon returning home found that my memory card was blank...i had no clue what had happened to my photos. I was rather upset about it and set the card aside for awhile and recently found the SanDisk Recovery Utility and gave it a spin. It recovered all of my files and I processed my first pic.

SHortly after I made my pic I was at the bookstore, they had an ansel adams book laying out and when we opened it, the page we opened it to had a picture taken of the same rock formation...I did not know that when i had taken the pic and it was sheer coincidence but i found it interesting. The angles are slightly different but are almost from the same spot (mine is slight right of his shot).

This Ansel Adam's photo as well as 223 other companions by Ansel Adams were commissioned by the Park service in 1936 and are located in the national archives.

I wonder what he could have accomplished with today's technology?
