Pool, Kaibab Plateau, Arizona, Ansel Adams, 1947/Ansel Adams

I've been looking through a new edition of Ansel Adams in Color, a book first published in 1993, nine years after his death, that's been re-issued this year with 20 additional photographs. It's a book full of subtle, long-deliberated pictures, which is pretty much what you would expect of Adams, and it led me to think about Adams and color — which, to put it mildly, are not two words you ordinarily think of together. I put those thoughts into a little intro text that accompanies a slide show of work from that book, which we've mounted on Time.com.

(That link will take you to the text. Once you get there the pictures can be accessed by clicking the photo to the left of the second paragraph.)
