Ansel Adams, born on February 20th, 1902. I don't think I ever put my Deardorff on the tripod without thinking about him. A class guy and a nice guy. You'll notice I keep the Yosemite webcam on my blogroll just so I can see the weather up the valley every day.
I expect I'm the only person to ever turn down being his assistant.
On second thought, being an assistant (he who totes the gear) to a guy who uses large-format view cameras in steep terrain might not be as much fun as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteUnless you really like sniffing D-76 fumes.
Great company with a wonderful view though...I'd certainly be a different person.
ReplyDeleteI've found that you don't get addicted to the D-76, it's the HYPO fumes (Fixer,Sodium Thiosulfate) that you learn to love.
