The title says it all: "Ansel Adams in Color." Who knew that America’s premier black and white photographer performed his film magic in color too? I certainly didn't.
"Ansel Adams in Color" is filled with Adams’ gorgeous, technicolor, photographs along with accompanying essays. While Adams was ambivalent about working in color -- primarily due to the technical limitations at the time -- today's digital advancements allow the photos to shine. These majestic photos were taken primarily in the 40's - 50's and capture America’s natural landscape at its zenith. The photographs include breathtaking shots of the Grand Canyon; Yosemite National Park; Death Valley; Hawaii; Alaska, Wyoming; and much more!
"Ansel Adams in Color" would be a welcome edition to the collection of any photographer or Adams’ admirer.
