My Favorite Ansel Adams Photograph

What is your favorite Ansel Adams photograph? Moon and Half Dome? Moonrise, Hernandez? Clearing Winter Storm?

Myself? My favorite Ansel Adams Photograph isn't one that Ansel took himself, but rather a photograph of Ansel Adams taken by Jacques Henri Lartigue in the early 1970's. The photograph which is depicted in Lartigue: Album of a Century is simply labeled "De Dos" just shows Adams's butt as he leans over an equipment case. I love it!

Ansel Adams's Butt

I have a feeling I would have gotten along with Lartigue. To be in front of a photography giant like Ansel Adams, and make the photo of his backside the one that makes it into the album is very much something I think I'd do.

    Holy crap! hahahaha
    I haven't seen this photo until now!

    Yeah. I never seen it either until I purchased Lartigue's book. I had zero success trying to find a copy of it through Google as well.

    I love these less well known examples of Ansel Adams photographs of Los Angeles....

    The LA photos were new to me. Interesting though anytime I come across his work which wasn't landscapes.

    The first time I've ever seen an Ansel Adam's print was in 2002 when the Lirary of Congress had some of the stuff he shot of the Japanese internment camps during World War II. A lot of those images can be found at http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/anseladams/index.html. I tend to like them more than any of his landscape works. But I'm also bias towards the human interest photo. :D

    I also find it interesting that each one come accompanied with a straight scan of his negative, and the print he made from it.
