[Merg Ross]

This is a good interview covering the life, times and philosophy of Ansel. Even includes his recipe for a Dry Martini. He died the following year.

Thank you for posting this. It can be much better to read something that can also be studied than to hear it, even when it is Ansel Adam's voice.

I've always admired Adams' photographic work, but I think I could best him at martinis.

I think i once heard that Ansel worked in the darkroom tirelessly unless he was sick. And apparently he was sick a lot from drinking too much the night before..

For the Moonrise that went for $71,500 [1971], I received something like $200 15 years ago.

This sums up the difference between the "Art Market" and the "Artist."
