I don't claim any rarity or collectibility for that of course but there is just one source and one skilled darkroom printmaker for these and has been since 1975 after he worked as Ansel Adams' assistant. If it was exceedingly rare or collectible then I simply couldn't justify spending perhaps 8 or 10,000 dollars or more for a print. However it is from Ansel's creation, has been meticulously made and is gorgeous to my eyes. My print is professionally and archivally framed and hangs where I can look at it and enjoy it every single say. I don't have anything from Yosemite that I shot hanging within sight of it ;-) Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 1 August 2010 13:50, Mark Rabiner <mark at rabinergroup.com> wrote: > Example prints people would call these prints on the wall in your darkroom. > So you know what prints are supposed to look like. > > -- > Mark William Rabiner > mark at rabinergroup.com > > > > From: Ken Carney <kcarney1 at cox.net> > > Reply-To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > > Date: Sat, 31 Jul 2010 19:52:20 -0500 > > To: Leica Users Group <lug at leica-users.org> > > Subject: Re: [Leica] AA or Uncle Earl? > > > > I never had the opportunity to meet Ansel, but I suspect he knew how to > > have a good time.
