A new show of Ansel Adams’ work opens tomorrow at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts.  “At the Water’s Edge” will be on view from June 9 – October 8, 2012.  This master photographer will surely draw large crowds – he’s the Monet of the photo world. His photographs are always beautiful to look at, especially in a gallery setting.  So, if you’re in the area this summer, be sure to make PEM a stop on your visit.
Stephen D. recently contacted us regarding a collection of negatives he received from his friend, Glen Sunderland. Â It seems Glen was friends with Ansel and has quite a collection of portraits he took of Ansel Adams over the years. Â We are not making any outrageous claims here, but we are enjoying seeing some of these images, maybe for the first time.
Attached is a photo of Glen Sunderland and the card that Ansel gave to him. Glen was one of world’s top unknown photographers. He was friends with Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ernst Haas and Ansel Adams and many more. He was born in Phoenix in 1923, served in the air force in WWII, he was also a professional basketball player in the 1950’s. He joined Lockheed in 1961 and became their top photographer until he retired in 1991. He left 200,000 images of his work.
