photographers complain their heavy D4,s 1Dx's and lenses are too heavy to carry... Ansel carried 3x heavier, bulkier cameras and a carload more equipment than we have as seen in this video yet he never complained if only he lived to see today's modern cameras he would have loved the light high end Nikons and Canons and the digital medium format cameras that are worlds lighter than his stuff back in the day ;-) would you've lugged around Ansel's cameras if we never had today's modern cameras?
" O Joy Divine of Friends" was a poem by Edward Carpenter. It appeared in the 1880s "Towards Democracy," published in 1883: "O joy divine of friends! To hold within the circle of one's arms More than the universe holds: So sweet, so rare, so precious beyond words, The god so tenderly mortal! Not kisses only or embraces, Nor the sweet pain and passion of the flesh alone; But more, far more, To feel (ah joy!) the creature deep within Touch on its mate, unite, and lie entranced There, ages down, and ages long, in light, Suffused, divine - where all these other pleasures Fade but to symbols of that perfect union!"
Videos like this are so important. Thank you!
Very interesting! I just learned today that Ansel Adams played piano
He was a man fulfilled with various talents
What a legend
My Hero i wish i had cameras like Ansel
One of my favorite photographers and one of my favorite documentary =D
Very interesting set of movies. Very tranquil and inspiring. Great man.
Cheers.
Great series each word has meaning redux like work at times
Great artist. PBS had a doc on him. He was a complex individual

Strange. I too am a commercial photographer and keyboard player as well. I wonder if many of us are...
Anyone know the nature or meaning of the inscription on the fireplace at 1:56?

What song is he playing on the piano at the beginning?
Prelude op. 16 nº 3 Scriabin
It wasn't the camera =)
just thinking, if he was driving around SF these days with that much kit in his car, he's so getting robbed!
I HATE the feeling of photo chemicals on my hands.
