Early Footage of Ansel Adams At Work

[Fragomeni]

Thought many of you would like to see this if you hadn't seen it already. Short early documentary on Ansel with commentary from him about his practices and views on photography. Plus some footage of Ansel playing the piano. Enjoy!

Yea, I'd never seen this before so thought it was definitely worth sharing!

Thanks for posting.

I had thought that as Ansel got older he switched to smaller and lighter formats (something I can relate too) but apparently from the scene where he was loading his vehicle, there may have been a time when he used all of those formats at the same time.

I've seen this before but it's a real treat to see it again. Thanks for posting it!

As a coincidence, I've just been reading Andrea G. Stillman's book "Looking at Ansel Adams The Photographs and the Man" and enjoying it tremendously.
