George’s Birthday and Ansel Adams!

February 2, 1916 - George’s Birthday! Self-portrait taken in 1958.

I recently found this 2.25” square negative in a glassine sleeve labeled, “Ansel, Yosemite - 1958”. The images were taken at an Ansel Adams workshop given in Yosemite in 1958. There were portraits of other participants, landscapes, and 14 photographs of Ansel Adams!

Ansel Adams, 1958 - The reflection in his glasses seems to indicate he’s looking at photographs. Perhaps one of his workshop students.

One of my favorite photos - George and Deb . Dad, as I go through your negs and transparencies I continue to discover surprises from you that remind me of your passion, your vision, and your love. Happy birthday, Dad. Love ya.
