Ansel or Weston images of San Mateo coast?

**Darin Boville** · 24-Feb-2010, 00:37

There's an amazing wealth of knowledge here so here goes:

I'm trying to develop a list of images made by Ansel Adams or Ed Weston which were made along the San Mateo Coast (Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, up to but not including Santa Cruz). Any ideas?

I'm also interested in old photographs in general of the same...

I'm working on two articles for my local news/video site: One about Ansel and Weston imagery and the other a sort of re-photography project looking at erosion.

Thanks!

I think you mean "down" to Santa Cruz. Maybe that's just a personal bais, though, as someone living north of the area in question!

You should look up any historical societies in the areas mentioned. They should have plenty of images you would need. I took lots of "Sick Days" from work and photographed along the San Mateo coast line.
Sadly, I also lost a friend who got to close to a cliff and the ground gave.
Over all I miss the green hills of that region. Love the farms that over look the sea.
I may have to do a tour of it someday.

Don't forget Wynn Bullock. His work was stunning.

Now's the time for that tour Robert as all the hills are now green

You're a cruel man, sir!

We have had some really nice weather here in Oregon until the wind picked up.
Now, I'm checking the price to travel down south via train. Love the train!

Hard to forget, and stunning indeed. He was a wonderful photographer and friend. He made me think about what I was trying to say with my photography. I remember him discussing the fourth dimension, which was beyond my comprehension at the time. He achieved something in his work that will continue to please the eye, and stimulate the brain.
