Life at Olympic trailer park by Ansel Adams

It’s also worth noting that nearly all of his big selling masterpieces were created within a fairly concise period of time, virtually none being taken after he turned 50...

This caught my attention since 50 is, roughly, the average age around here.

Curious how many of us feel that our best work is behind us.

And how many that it’s still ahead...

At 59 -- still ahead!

My best color work is behind. My best B&W definitely is not.

These photographs were donated to the Los Angeles Public Library by AA. IIRC, he was going to throw them out but they were saved. They were printed recently and presented at a downtown LA photography gallery during the big Pacific Standard Time series that was running all over town devoted to art and design in the region. I saw the show, and was disappointed from an artistic standpoint. They were made for a magazine assignment, so the journalistic recording was interesting from a historical view, but that's about it. He didn't do a great job with people in his pictures IMHO.
