I note a couple of mentions of Ansel Adams here, not surprisingly. I went to see a major exhibition of his work in Boston last September and came away feeling that he was more of a great printer than a great photographer. Blasphemy perhaps but that's the impression I got.
I also came away feeling that he wouldn't have got the exposure (bad pun, not originally intended) he has if it wasn't for some appropriate patronage.
