Ansel Adams

As stereotypical as it may be, I'd like to give props to a some of my favorite Ansel Adams photographs.  Watched a PBS documentary about the famous photographer and was reminded of how perfect and beautiful his prints are.

Prokudin-Gorskii

This work is truly amazing in content and the way in which is was produced...
Prokudin-Gorsky's own research yielded patents for producing color film slides and for projecting color motion pictures. His process used a camera that took a series of three monochrome pictures in sequence, each through a different-colored filter. By projecting all three monochrome pictures using correctly colored light, it was possible to reconstruct the original color scene. Any stray movement within the camera's field of view showed up in the prints as multiple "ghosted" images, since the red, green and blue images were taken of the subject at slightly different times.  You can see the process within the edges of the photographs.  There are over a thousand photographs from Gorskii.  (Thanks Hil!)

Erika Larsen

Thanks Max for introducing me.  I connect with this work and am so moved by it.  I would love to be aligned with her and the direction she has taken her career someday.
