i totally love ansel adams, too!! in high school photo, i got to do an essay about him. i borrowed a book my mom had, and read about how he took his famous picture in yosemite with the moon to an astronomer. apparently, he wanted to get the correct time for when he took the picture...hee hee!! at the time, i told grandma and jerry about my essay, and jerry went on this rampage about how all his photos were fake, and how he added the moon to the yosemite one. i tired to tell him about the astronomer guy, but he wouldn't listen!! how rude!!
did you know he was commissioned by uc berkeley to take a bunch of pictures for their 100th anniversary?? i think there's a set called, "fiat lux" too.
i'm so happy that you like ansel adams, too!! i was using it as my background for myspace for a while!! :)
