Ansel Adams Correspondence with a Buyer About a Photograph

Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of the Fine Art Photography Podcast. I'm your host, Keith Dotson, a professional fine art photographer. In this episode, we will gain insight into Ansel Adam's photograph, "The Golden Gate (Before the Bridge)" through his correspondence with the man who bought it in 1965. The documents came to light as part of an auction of the print.
