ANSEL ADAMS GALLERY PRESENTS CENTENNIAL SYMPOSIUM
IN YOSEMITE VALLEY - JUNE 19-23, 2002


The Ansel Adams Gallery is offering a special symposium to commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Ansel's birth (February 20, 1902), as well as the 100th Anniversary of Best's Studio/Ansel Adams Gallery. This symposium, "Edges and Intersections: 100 Years of Cultural Contribution in Yosemite," will be a gathering in the tradition of the Ansel Adams Workshops, which were offered for decades in Yosemite Valley. Featured presenters for this reunion of colleagues and friends will be accomplished and articulate photographers and teachers, Olivia Parker, Jerry Uelsmann, and John Sexton, along with philosopher/best-selling author, Phil Cousineau.

Participants will meet with each primary presenter either in the field, darkroom, or for discussions. In addition, there will be box lunch gatherings with special guests who are prominent in various photographic fields. This symposium will be a unique opportunity to share the legacy of Ansel Adams with a broad range of luminaries in the photographic field.

For those who are interested in a hands-on technical experience, there will be an additional follow-on workshop with Alan Ross, "Field Techniques for Black and White Photography."

SOME THOUGHTS ON PHOTOGRAPHY... AND OTHER TOPICS


Memorable comments by noted photographers, and others:

"There are no rules for good photographs, the are only good photographs."
- Ansel Adams

“Almost all photographers have incurred large expenses in the pursuit of tiny audiences, finding the wonder they’d hoped to share is something few want to receive.”
- Robert Adams from “Why People Photograph”

"The problems that exist in the world today cannot be solved by the level of thinking that created them."
- Albert Einstein



HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

I would like to wish all of you, and your families, a peaceful and happy Holiday season.

John
