Ansel Adams at the AGO

This evening, Jeff and I met up with Danijela to see the Ansel Adams exhibit at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Anyone who has ever lived in Northern California knows about Ansel Adams. My almost five years in the San Francisco Bay Area and several trips to Yosemite during that time ensured frequent encounters of the photographer's work. For some strange reason, Adams's photos of Yosemite always leave me unsatisfied. Is it because they are mostly black-and-white, which creates an eerie style but also loses much content? Is it because I foolishly believe that my pictures would look just as wonderful if they were enlarged to absurd sizes? Most likely, I just don't get it.
