WEEK ONE: GRAND TETON NATIONAL PARK

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.  This trip is a great way to kick off the 52 Photo Project but hard to pick just one photo for the week.  First morning here, we were up at 5:45am and on the road, trying to get the iconic shot of Grand Teton Mountain at sunrise, reflecting in beaver pond. The sunrise was stunning, but 20 other photographers were already in position and no one was going to give up any real estate!  I actually heard “Down in Front!”  It was a bit comical, everyone wanting to go home with the exact same Ansel Adams shot.  So Peter and I retreated and found this amazingly peaceful out-of-the-way spot just outside of the Park, and I’m pretty sure no one else is going home with this one.
