I really miss having my sessions and conversations with Ansel Adams when I was younger. Met him many times and took courses from him, and a follower of his Zone V method. Once at a course in Monterey, CA he invited us all to his house for "drinks" at 6 PM. We were told at the time that "he never did this" but he made a connection with our group. The thing was that 6 PM was dinner time where we were staying at a conference center. Food was included at the conference center as part of the week long course. Many were on shoe string budgets and debated, "food or drink at Ansel's house". Ansel's house won out. We arrived at his house and had full run of his gorgeous house overlooking the Pacific Ocean, his infamous darkroom, his gallery and he had the the full open bar as promised and a complete spread of food for us! We all had pleasant conversations and great time that evening with him while he sat in his favorite chair under his epic image of Half Dome. A memory I will forever cherish as a photographer forever.
