Today is the birthday of Ansel Adams, 1902-1984. In the 1970s, I visited him a couple of times and he even graciously let me work in his Yosemite darkroom at one time. While we didn’t see “eye-to-eye” (sorry) on all things photographic, I did come to admire his work ethic, his standards of quality and in time to understand what he was talking about in terms of “previsualization”. An all-around good guy.
