Lot Essay

Adams wrote the following in a letter to Minor White in 1947:

'The earth looks very good indeed; the forms of nature - once they are integrated on the magic rectangle of film - satisfy me completely...A long line of rising land is so much in itself; the hint of clear air, and the organic life of clouds - well, I guess that's for me from now on.'

The above letter as published in: Andrea Stillman, Ansel Adams: Letters and Images 1916-1984, Little, Brown and Co., Boston, 1988, p. 180)
