Proofreader

A curator’s thoughtful, analytic overview of Adams’s earliest photographic projects, from informal outing albums for the Sierra Club, to his commercial work for Yosemite’s primary concessionaire, to his first New Mexico project and the beginnings of his work for the National Park Service. I’ll be looking for Ansel Adams postcards at every flea market I go to from now on.
