Yosemite 1938: On the Trail with Ansel Adams

On September 11, 1938, Ansel Adams, George O'Keeffe and their friends David MsAlpin and the Godfrey Rockefellers began a 10-day trip through Yosemite. Adams recorded this trip with his camera, focusing his lens not only on the majesty of the landscape but also on his close friends. Later he crafted three photographic albums with personal notes and captions, then gave them to his fellow- travelers. Thanks to the McAlpin family's donation of one of these albums, these intense and beautiful images can be enjoyed by the Crocker's public as well.

Crocker Art Museum will be our guest on January 31, watch for more info.
