Funny you should mention it. Just today (October 8) I went to catch the final day of an Ansel Adams exhibit at the nearby Peabody Essex Museum (http://www.pem.org/exhibitions/139-ansel_adams_at_the_waters_edge) It was called "At the Water's Edge" but seems quite similarly-themed to the one that starts tomorrow at NMM (they both feature the Tetons and Snake River photo prominently). Some magnificent stuff at the one I saw today (as would be expected) and it included tome early works from Adams's teen years that were quite pictorialist. I normally look at this kind of exhibit from a strictly aesthetic standpoint but in this case I often found myself longing for technical details: One early print really looked like a paper negative Calotype. I can't imagine why it would be in 1915, but I don't know what it *was*. -- Mark Roberts - Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
