When Ansel Adams shot “Moonrise” he had forgotten his meter. The original picture was overexposed. It was only after many years of tooling – and after he got WAAAY good at The Negative, did you start seeing the darker, darker, then pitch black versions of Moonrise.
To see these four side by side in an exhibition that was Three Floors of images was one of the coolest things of this trip. Make sure you check them at the Andrew Smith Gallery!
