Local Event: Ansel Adams

I hope that my work will encourage self expression in others and stimulate the search for beauty and creative excitement in the great world around us.

- Ansel Adams

Looking forward to seeing his exhibit in Park City tonight here.

The aspen image above was the first of his images I noticed.  I was taking photography in high school and having a great time trying to develop my images with the right amount of white and black in them to make them not so blah and mediocre in varying shades of gray.  Loving the smell, the cool swiveling dark room doors, the image slowly developing on the sheet, I never did quite achieve the perfect balance, but he sure did.
