Very enjoyable. But I was amused by his sense that 1,300 photos is “not that many.” It reminded me of a story my father-in-law, Clark (an amazingly interesting person), told. As a young man in the 1940s, Clark worked at a little store at Yosemite that sold film. One day, Ansel Adams came in. They started talking, and Adams eventually hired Clark to schlep Adams’ big box camera into the high country. They hiked a couple of days before Adams found the spot he wanted. He set up the camera, and waited several hours more. Finally, he snapped (or took the lens cap off) for one exposure. “OK, Clark, let’s head back.” Clark said, “Don’t you want to take a few more shots?” Ansel replied, “Why? I got the one I wanted.”

Still not over having my Kodachrome taken away.

@JimRain Wow. That’s an amazing story.

It is! Clark was an amazing guy. Not only did he tote Ansel Adams’ camera, he walked across the Golden Gate Bridge on the day it opened and he attended the opening session of the United Nations in San Francisco, where the UN charter was drafted. He also liked to tell the story of how one evening after dinner, he walked into the family kitchen and met Lena Horne, who, with her boyfriend, was about to go on a double date with the family’s cook and her husband!
