Photogs / Photo Exhibits This is the place to discuss a particular Photographer (work, style, life, whatever), as well as to post Gallery and Museum Photo Exhibitions and your own impressions of them. As we march on in this new digital world, it is often too easy to forget about the visual importance of the photographic print, as well as their financial importance to the photographer. It is also interesting to remember that some guy named Gene Smith shot with lenses that many lens test reading "never had a picture published in their life" amateurs would turn up their their noses at, as being "unacceptable."

Los Angeles by Ansel Adams, 1940s

Interesting set of photos displayed on the wonderful Retronaut website:

Whilst the photos have a certain period interest, and there's definitely some Chandleresque atmosphere in them, I think they're a pretty ordinary set of photos. I'm not seeing a great photographer at work here. Adams was no HCB when it comes to street photography.
