Photographers like Ansel Adams and Carleton Watkins captured the grandiose beauty of the Yosemite Valley so successfully and prolifically that later landscape photographers have been hard pressed to find fresh perspectives. Minick's witty, postmodern approach places the commodification of the picturesque at center stage, focusing on a tourist whose headscarf replicates the view before her.
