Timmy O'NeillGUEST
And then I have sent them consistently in my life, generally hundreds of them a year.
Timmy O'NeillGUEST
So I just recently purchased, um, some slabs of the Ansel Adams stamps.
Timmy O'NeillGUEST
I love stamps, and especially beautiful ones, and Ansel Adams, of course, being this seminal, iconic photographer who captured these images.
Timmy O'NeillGUEST
So I can place this beautiful stamp on this envelope, and inside is a gift.
Timmy O'NeillGUEST
You know? Like, you can open this like a present as you peel back the envelope, and then open up this card.
Kevin MussoCORRESPONDENT
Here's Mono Lake, and that's Highway 120, Yosemite Valley right in there.
Kevin MussoCORRESPONDENT
There have been a few pop-up showers way up here in the John Muir Wilderness Area above Huntington Lake and Ansel Adams areas there.
Kevin MussoCORRESPONDENT
And as we look at this rollercoaster ride, we warm up for the fall season near 100 degrees, and then ride that rollercoaster right downhill to an 87 and 85 Sunday and Monday.
Kevin MussoCORRESPONDENT
You can see the warmth building here just north of the Bay Area.
Erik Anders LangGUEST
And, um, you know, I found this enlarger and all these, like, bins and all these, like, chemicals and cameras and, and I just sort of took them, right? And, and, and, and started, like, you know, breathing life into them and learning about photography.
Erik Anders LangGUEST
And, you know, I got into Ansel Adams, and I started ...
Erik Anders LangGUEST
I got a 4x5 camera, and then I got an 8x10 camera, and I just went full bore, deep as fuck into the photograph.
Erik Anders LangGUEST
And I learned the, the theory of photography and, you know, went to photography school, which I dropped out of very quickly.
John MitchinsonHOST
It's sort of a suburban scene.
John MitchinsonHOST
It's not a sort of Ansel Adams kind of the majesty of nature.
John MitchinsonHOST
She's just having an extraordinary experience.
John MitchinsonHOST
And as you say, the most extraordinary thing is that she's able to recreate that in the mind of the reader with the precision and beauty of the language that she uses.
Claudia WelshGUEST
I've been helping my husband, Michael Fry with, with workshops for many, many years.
Claudia WelshGUEST
And before that I was involved with the workshop program through the Ansel Adams gallery in Yosemite, um, as well as other things there, but it was time and time again, um, I would see that people would come together in a workshop, have this three to five day or longer experience together, and they would form bonds that, as Charlotte said, would last years and continue, and they would get together.
Claudia WelshGUEST
on their own after the workshop was over and continue to get together and then come back to the workshop and bring, you know, new people with them.
Claudia WelshGUEST
You have to experience this because part of the experience was the community that sort of you're all together in this with nothing else on your plate, but to make photographs.
8 MINS LATER
Grant SwinburneHOST
And whether it's a documentary shot or a fine art shot, it is that place in that time and That place and time and that person standing there is never going to happen again.
Grant SwinburneHOST
And I just can't recreate those sorts of things as far as I'm concerned.
Grant SwinburneHOST
The colorized Ansel Adams, you know, aside.
Grant SwinburneHOST
But anyway, let's talk about the future of photography.
Scott McDermottGUEST
Yeah.
Matt PayneHOST
That's, that's awesome that you have all these different kinda subgenres of photography that kinda touch each other and relate to each other, and I know before we were recording, you talked about how when you first got into photography, you were into, like, hiking these big crazy things in the Himalayas, and you wanted to be like, you know, Ansel Adams and, and Galen Rowell and, you know, Jimmy Chin and, and then you landed in New York City.
Matt PayneHOST
So I'd be curious to hear a little bit more about, like, how that winding path of being in the Netherlands and Switzerland and the Himalayas and now New York City, like, how has that shaped you creatively?
Scott McDermottGUEST
Y- it's interesting 'cause I, I actually still shoot landscapes essenc- it's more the cityscapes, but it's out my window.
Steve StocktonHOST
There was no one more experienced or better trained.
Steve StocktonHOST
He'd grown up in Yosemite National Park and had even worked carrying around the famous photographer Ansel Adams' equipment when he famously photographed the area.
Steve StocktonHOST
He had been in the Peace Corps and learned high altitude mountaineering while in India from the Sherpa.
Steve StocktonHOST
He had at one time even been a winter ranger as well as a Nordic ranger, and then his current gig as a seasonal backcountry ranger.
CandiceHOST
Right.
CandiceHOST
Not to mention the people, if it's not a PhotoPass photographer taking all of these things, the people that, again, have no spatial awareness and actually step back into oncoming traffic to try and get the perfect Ansel Adams shot of their beloved family in front of the castle.
CandiceHOST
No.
CandiceHOST
Stop it.
ScottHOST
The perfect Ansel Adams shot.
ScottHOST
That makes me laugh.
CandiceHOST
Leave the photographer, buy the PhotoPass.
WallyHOST
on a star with black Converse shoes all around her and she's holding a pair of shoes.
WallyHOST
And it's just like an elegant black and white photo, you know, something that you'd see like Ansel Adams or some model photography do.
WallyHOST
Black and white always looks better.
WallyHOST
And so that's it.
Kevin LaneHOST
You can get the book or find it and read it.
Kevin LaneHOST
Actually says in the opposite of Ansel Adams, he does not like to pre-visualize when he's actually in the field shooting.
Kevin LaneHOST
He calls it post-visualization because it happens in a dark room.
Kevin LaneHOST
And others talked about whether the difference between trying to get it composed in the camera or composition with cropping, that sort of thing.
