Editorial Reviews: Product Description This surprising book presents 50 beautiful full-color images by the great American landscape photographer, Ansel Adams, marking the first time that a significant body of Ansel Adams' color work has ever been published. Ansel Adams began to photograph in color soon after Kodachrome was invented in the mid-1930s, and shot more that 3,000 color images during his lifetime. Very few of these photographs, however, were published or exhibited. As Adams remarked late in life after observing the advances in color printing techniques, "People are skeptical about my thoughts on color. I do not blame them, as I have protested it and have not shown my color pictures. I feel the urge now and wish I were sixty years younger!" The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust, working with the distinguished photographer Harry Callahan, decided to share this remarkable body of work, reproduced in accordance with Adams' exacting standards, through state-of-the-art color imaging and printing technology. These images, accompanied by an introductory essay by James Enyeart and a selection of Ansel Adams' thoughtful, often contradictory writings on color photography, add a fascinating new dimension to Adams' enduring legacy.

Customer Reviews: Read 7 more reviews... Excellent Pictures - Still Prefer The Classic Adams "B&W" April 5, 2008 Interesting read - originally found in the public library. Wanted a copy for my collection but still Prefer The Classic Adams "B&W" Insight About Color Photography For Ansel Adams Fans February 14, 2008 As a photographer with over 50 years of experience with cameras, I found the color photos by Ansel Adams interesting and enjoyable to peruse. But, the most important aspect of this book for me were the quoted passages from Ansel's letters and other writings regarding the challenges of making meaningful and art-level color photographs. Ansel envisioned the coming world of color photography and even foresaw the post negative film era that might happen as he wrote many years ago when color slide film was his choice for its stability and vividness. But, when he wrote his book, the color films then available to the photographer did not enable the degree of post-camera manipulation and fine tuning of photographs that we enjoy today with digital photography. interesting book on photographic philosophy - not a coffee table book for Adams fans December 14, 2007 This book is all about the text. It is a book on photographic philosophy, and can't be reasonably judged as a book of images by Ansel Adams evangelists like some of the above reviewers. He is dead now, and surely wouldn't mind the fact that some of his pictures have been used to stimulate discussion and thought regarding photography and/or art. He would not have proudly displayed this work based solely on his personal opinions. That doesn't mean it is bad, and it doesn't mean it is exploitive for publishers to show it to us now. It is just an interesting book, and I imagine that it would be even for someone who is not a photographer. Alternative View December 24, 2005 Any decent photographer knows about the work of Ansel Adams. Sure, he is well known for his black and white work, but many of us have wondered about his work in color. This book presents some good photos, but the main thing is the text (and there isn't too much of it, which is good). It includes analysis, but also comments from Ansel himself (articles, interviews, etc.). Definitely worth reading. I was going to just breeze through the pretty pictures, but when I started reading the text, I had to read all of it. A work in progress October 12, 2004 1 out of 3 found this review helpful I got a copy of this recently and it is a truly interesting book. The use of colour displays a profound vision and shows a great understanding of the necessity for colours to work together in an image, sometimes harmoniously, sometimes in contrast. It is truly as great as the B&W work Adams is so well known for? To be honest no, but he was still working towards a vision of how to use colour in his work, so it remains a work in progress. Given another 50 years I have no doubt that Adams would have colour work every bit as good as his B&W. You could learn a lot from the images in this book, possibly all the more because it isn't a really polished work which can seem a bit inaccesible to us lesser mortals.
