I just love that Yosemite is just over the pass...

Wait! I Thought Yosemite Was Closer to My World!
When you think of Ansel Adams...
I'll bet you think of all those magnificent shots
taken in my current part of the world, Yosemite Valley...
Well...Ansel Adams had another side too...
Showing in drkrm gallery
727 S. Spring St., Los Angeles
Through April 21...
Ansel Adams was commissioned by Fortune magazine as a photojournalist
on assignment to photograph Urban LA in 1940...
They selected several photos for publication and returned the rest
to Ansel Adams.
In the 60's, Ansel Adams found the photographs and decided to
donate them and the negatives to the Los Angeles Public Library...
At the time, he wrote in a letter that these were not his best
work and that if they were interested, fine...
if not, they should burn them.
He placed a value of $150 on the whole lot of them...
Each print in the gallery was on sale for $2500...
Go figure!!!
Now...these were printed directly from the original negatives...
none of the famous Ansel Adams darkroom manipulation...
They were wonderful!!!
If you're in LA between now and the 21st..
do go and see these...
