The photomation in this is awful, but I'm looking forward to going to see this exhibit.

It could be good Clyde if it is photos of olde worlde Los Angeles and not his dreery landscapes.

:-)

Thanks for the link Clyde, I listened to the interview, I wish I could go to this exhibition and visit the west coast once more !
How can you say such a thing John !  ;-)

Oh easy, considering I don't find his landscapes at all appealing.

However, I now realise I have committed landscape heresy by declaring my opinions and wait for the inevitable fallout...

;-)

I saw one or two from this series about 4 years ago at The Huntington in an exhibit by various photographers focusing on this period in LA and specifically on the entertainment business. They were very nice if I remember but not particularly outstanding. I think they were from "behind the scenes" of a movie studio. Props laying about and such.

Here's another video about the exhibit. Apparently the prints are being made for this exhibit and will be for sale. Obviously not printed by Adams.

John, behave yourself....

That's what I think of the ones they showed in the little movie (BTW thanks for this second link) but  anyway, I'd like to see those prints ! However, we can rather regard them as testimonies.You should be ashamed John ! and quickly find a place where to hide    :-;-)))))I thoroughly agree with you Clyde, he actually should behave ! No moderator around here ?  :-)))))
