  1. Timothy O'Sullivan: Photos of article from 1869 article about or by O'Sullivan

    Hello all,

    Oh hey,

    I stopped getting e-mails from this thread, thought it was dormant!

    The first is "Was Ansel A Landsape Photographer?" at...

    She did her PhD dissertation on Ansel's early work--I think this book is the culmination of all of that. Bad timing with the virus, alas.

    The book is good. If you haven't seen Parmelian Prints or the Sierra Club album before that alone is probably worth the $35.
