Topic: Celebrating Ansel Adams' Birthday

[gothamtomato]

I've been wanting to organize a tribute to Ansel Adams, and all the peices finally fell into place and it is happening on his birthday, February 20 (and I wanted you guys to be among the first to know!) The cornerstone of this day will be a talk by his former assistant Andrea Stillman. I feel soooo lucky that we've been able to get her to speak here.

Ansel Adams is one of America’s most beloved photographers and environmentalists, and on what would have been his 111th birthday, we have planned a day that is jam-packed with 3 different talks, (including one by one of his former assistants!) Here’s the lineup:

10AM: Photographing National Parks with Chris Nicholson: http://bhpho.to/10ziJpa

1PM: Looking at Ansel Adams: The Photographs and the Man with Andrea Stillman: http://bhpho.to/10bTfgr

3PM: Straight Print to Finished Print with Chip Forelli: http://bhpho.to/U15WXz

***Andrea’s talk will be followed by a book signing of her acclaimed book, ‘Looking at Ansel Adams: The Photographs and the Man’

We hope this will be a fitting tribute to Ansel and we hope you will join us!

Any chance of this lot being video'd and posted?

We're not sure yet. Even when we do record, we can never post a whole talk, but we hope to post some of this.
