Reviews
Decades ago, I remember being surprised to come across a book in a library on Hawaii with fading color photographs by Ansel Adams. Shocking. Now we have the second edition of this excellent little (would that it were a larger size) book which gives background information to Ansel's forays into color. Can you *imagine* 8x10 Kodachromes? I can. He certainly did -- and did it extremely well as he did all facets of his chosen medium.Those familiar with Ansel's monochrome work may be surprised to find a few of their polychrome equivalents. Color reproduction here is excellent. You may be tempted to frame some of these but that would mean taking the book apart.The book is well written, very informative, nicely designed, well printed, and Ansel Adams. Who could ask for more?
