You don’t take a photograph, you make it.
- Ansel Adams
Just a quick note from Dan.
Ansel Adams was, no doubt, a great photographer.
What a lot of people don't know is he was also a wizard in the darkroom.
He sometimes took his work and manipulated it.
Using masks and varying exposures on images he accentuated features
seeking to evoke emotion in the viewer. He sometimes even combined
two or more negatives to create an entirely new photo.
So, he truly did make photographs in a very real way.
