Since the recording process is instantaneous, and the nature of the image such that it cannot survive corrective handwork, it is obvious that the finished print must be created in full before the film is exposed. - Edward Weston

Classic Images: Photography by Ansel Adams
“Classic Images” includes 72 images - all black and white - that he personally printed for his daughter. This is one of his museum sets, a portfolio he conceived in the 1970s, as the best images from his career. Landscapes dominate the group, complemented by some close-up nature works, portraits and architectural subjects. Adams reveals his own emotional responses to the subjects, making them far more than mere records of a place.
The fifteen sections of the exhibition encompass Adams’ work throughout the country from 1921 through 1968. His devotion to the American wilderness is evident in his photographs of several national parks - especially images of his beloved Yosemite.
