What a dream it must be to have the privilege of viewing Ansell Adams’ darkroom. Marc Silber had the opportunity and writes about it in an interesting article linked below. If you do nothing else today, I would suggest you watch the video in that article. For me, it humanises the legend. To hear his son Michael talk about his famous Moonrise photo and how it came about was a great insight into the man. Let me just say this, so I am on the record, I wasn’t until about 10PM last night, a fan or Mr Adams. That video and some further reading has changed my mind. That, in itself, should be enough to send you scurrying over to look at that video. 🙂 He may have been the king of dodge and burn, but his images were terrific to start with, he just made them better. Pickle my grandmother, did I just say that?
