It is important because as i said before it could show you what you really are going to print out rather than what you think you are going to printout. 

3. Adams writes that landscape pictures function on 3 levels- geography, autobiography, metaphor. Describe what he means by each. 

For geography, he just means that the picture is some evidence of the place at the exact time the picture was taken.
For autobiography, he says that this is when the one photographing is putting his/her input. Also that it is what the photographer, although the place is already there, puts his experience through the image.
For metaphor, Adam means that the one seeing the picture is the one deciding how to look at the picture.For example if they want to see it another way rather than the way the photographer photographed it, they could or they could see it through the eyes and experience of the photographer.
