It seems Ansel is making the rounds this year. An exhibit of his from
the Turtle Bay Exploration Park collection is on display at the Paine
Art Center in Oshkosh, WI.

We saw it earlier this summer, but I'd gladly go again if anyone's
interested.

The subject line speaks for itself, but I will explain.
On 9th November at the National Maritime Museum there opens an
exhibition called Ansel Adams: Photography from the Mountains to the
Sea. It runs until 28th April 2013.
If anybody's interested in going to it, and would care for some
company, let me know and we can arrange something. I am a Friend of
the
museum and I think I can get one other person in gratis on my card.
This is the link to the NMM's site, but it is not currently responding
to my digital blandishments, so I think it sleeps with the fishes at
the moment:

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*.
it could easily be the same exhibition - they often tour them around the
world.
