Has anyone seen the Ansel Adams exhibit at the Bellagio in Las Vegas?

I get to go there on business next week. I hope to catch a peek.

[DougGrosjean]

I'm going.

You guys mind if I tag alongwith you? My SO and I get to the DIA at least a couple times a month for movies, I'm sometimes a member and I think she always is.

In either case, I'm going.

Sounds good Doug. We'll turn it into an outing. More as it nears.

On rare days, where I live feels far, far away from anywhere else

The rest of the time, I'm in my happy place

I saw a preview of the show yesterday and was impressed. Much older and less celebrated work. A very nicely done exhibit. I couldn't help but think how far landscape work has come over the years. Enjoy.

Bill,

Reads like a very interesting topic. Could you and others with that knowledge talk a bit about the changes from your perspective?

I listened with great interest to Alan Ross talk last summer at the View Camera conference about continuing the AA prints and how Ansel never made a straight print. Of course no one makes a completely straight print. It is modified by exposure time, filter, dodge & burn, paper selection, etc.. He went on to show us the variety of techniques used by AA and then more recent digital (may lightning not strike) manipulation.


Thanks,

John Powers
