Hi, I saw that exhibit, and while the prints are gorgeous, only a small portion of Adams' work was shown, that devoted to his better known landscape photography. That's a poor way to show a retrospective of a man's work. Missing completely were his portraits, his commercial photography, the work he did with Dorothea Lange in Richmond, CA during the war, and his architectural work, which, in the opinion of many people, myself included, is often far more interesting and, arguably, more creative, than his better known landscapes.
Cory Waters and Juan Buhler and I (at different times) saw the lesser-known side of Adams when we went to see the Salgado exhibit in Berkeley. Now *that* was an interesting exhibit, as it showed the many facets of this wonderful photographer.
