Ansel Adams Master Photographers BBC Series On YouTube
I was browsing YouTube tonight and came across a great, 4-part series on Ansel Adams from the 1983 BBC series, Master Photographers. There’s no doubt that you’ve seen the work of Adams, but to sit and watch him be so candid and humble in his old age (he died the following year) about his photography is something else entirely.
Although Ansel died when I was only 7 years old, it’s wonderful to know that we lived at a time of one the, if not the most, influential photographers in the history of photography. His work has certainly inspired my own and I foresee myself coming back to his work over and over for inspiration and humility.
His quote, at the end of part 4 truly shows his wisdom on the art and craft of photography. He says: “The best picture is around the corner…”. Don’t we all feel that way.
