I admire your work, but I see no conflict in the spirit of your photographs to what Ansel Adams did. Adams ( A ) showed nature at its most magnificent, and you show the landscape that man has made for himself, thoughtfully and intelligently. Both styles works are extraordinary and valid in their own domain. As a foot note, I really do not appreciate critics/experts trying to pretend that a photograph, or any other artistic piece of visual communication, contains more than it does , and make it look and sound mystical.
