I've always loved the photographs and in March, I saw "Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico" in an exhibition of American landscape art at the Hunter Museum in Chattanooga. It wasn't the photograph I'd remembered, somehow -- the light more intense, the contrasts almost beyond crisp. Very compelling and beautiful, of course. So it was intriguing to read a comment by the curator -- I don't have my own notes about the exhibition at hand so will have to try to recall as precisely as I can -- indicating that Adams printed his images from the negatives as a musician might play a musical score and that no two prints were the same because his own interpretations were never quite the same. That there might be shifts in emphasis from one print to another just as we never hear a musician approach, say, a Bach partita in the same way twice. theresahttp://www.theresakishkan.comnoreply@blogger.com
