[Leica] buying Ansel portrait?

[leowesson at charter.net (leo)]

Brian,

I would probably contact a gallery to do a search for you;  that  
doesn't seem to be a common print... I don't think I have ever seen  
an original.   I would suggest the afterimage gallery in dallas, I  
think that ben (the owner)  can search stock of other galleries.

Here's some stuff i found interesting...

a slide, make your own print (don't tell ansel)
and something to look out for

To those opposed to this digitizing process, let me remind you that  
besides Smith, copying and reprinting has been going on for a long  
time, usually undetected and usually not mentioned. The 1944  
photograph of Woman behind Screen Door, Independence, California,  
Plate 8, Portfolio V, by Ansel Adams is made from an 8x10 copy  
negative made by George Waters from a heavily retouched print,  
including air brush work. Morley Baer obviously had copy negatives  
made. I saw a print at Photography West Gallery in Carmel that had a  
distinct dot pattern. I saw the same print, offered as an original,  
in a print auction.

If you just want to search galleries yourself, there's a link on this  
page to search  galleries by photographer but the link doesn't seem  
to be working tonight.  (if you love looking at prints, go to the  
apiad photoshow sometime, it's amazing)


good luck finding this gem!
