Ansel Adams in Color / Edited by Harry M. Callahan ; with John P. Schaefer and Andrea G. Stillman ; Introduction by James L. Enyeart ; Selected Writings on Color Photography by Ansel Adams
The pictures are beautiful, but the text was discouraging. It continued to harp on how Adams was so disappointed with color photography that after reading it, I could not enjoy the pictures as much. All I could hear in my head was the negative criticism. I found the text to be so negative that I could not go back to my initial wonder at the art and color. The text ruined the book for me.
If you get this book, forget reading the text and focus on the artistry. The pictures are beautiful.
