Description: Do you want to know exactly how some of the greatest photographs were made? Want to know how the weather was that morning, or who was around, or the technical specifications that created the final print? Then this Ansel Adams masterclass is for you. Each of the 40 photographs featured in this collection is accompanied by a detailed narrative, revealing the thought and planning behind their creation. Adams' meticulous attention to detail, mastery of light and composition, and unwavering dedication to his craft are evident in every image and accompanying explanation. His direct, plainspoken take on discussing creativity is refreshing: "I cannot, and will not, attempt to describe, analyze, or define the creative-emotional motivations of my work, or the work of others. Description of the inspiration or the meaning of a work of photography, or of any other medium of art, lies in the work itself." EXAMPLES: THE MAKING OF 40 PHOTOGRAPHS, by Ansel Adams. First Paperback Printing, 1989. Softcover, in Wraps. Boston: Bullfinch Press/Little, Brown. Enamel Gloss Pages. 45 Duotone Illustrations. Front Cover "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico, 1941". 176 pp. A good to very good first paperback printing, in wraps. Minor shelf wear, including the beginning of a tiny crease to the upper right corner of the front wrap, and a touch of foxing to top edge of text block, otherwise flawless. Binding is tight. Spine is smooth and unbroken. Interior is clean, crisp, and glossy. No writing. No owner names. A very nice copy.
