Don't know if I would call it progress...

As it is now, I've added more songs so it extends the length of time you see each picture. Not sure if I like this. I can't figure out a way to cut the songs to keep them short without making really abrupt cuts to the music — which is not what I wanted to do anyway. I can, but I'd have to bridge the segments of music with a sound effect like a tape fast-forwarding which brings a whole new level of cheesyness to the project.

I think I would be remiss to not mention one of the first inspirations to me as far as photography goes. Obligatory or not, I've know about Ansel Adams work since I was in high school. His work at Yosemite NP is breathtaking and I've always approached images like these with a feeling of wonderment and have wanted to see these places for myself. I've studied some of his images at length and have tried to copy them when given the opportunity with some satisfaction. I do envy his use of a large format camera though. I do also like his opinion on the high demand for production as a fine artist. He is quoted as saying, "Twelve significant photographs in any one year is a good crop."
