Mormom Row Panorama
The often photographed Mormon Row at Grand Teton National Park. In fact, I would say that this scene is one of the most photographed in the western United States. I have at least 4 different photos of these barns in my photostream, including two slightly different panoramas. So why keep shooting this scene?
Because it's a lot of fun!
To begin, it's very beautiful. The Tetons are absolutely majestic and such impressive mountains, the the dilapidated barns in front of the Tetons are so Americana it's almost appropriate to eat cherry pie while shooting this scene. The spring was very wet and the lush grasses and trees compliment everything so well.
Yes, there were other photographers there. There is almost always going to be. Yes, we were all shooting the same scene that morning. But who cares? The minute I'm too good for a beautiful but "cliche" landscape scene, that's the minute I'll give up photography. Shoot cliche scenes! Do your best and use your creativity to try to do something new with those scenes! Go shoot Tunnel View, or Maroon Lake, or The Golden Gate bridge from the Marin Highlands!
