UPDATE: We made a mistake! The Golden Gate Bridge wasn't built when Ansel was a kid so he definitely didn't grow up looking at it. Sorry about that!

One thing about Adams that deserves more attention is that he did his own processing of film and his own printing. This is important in creating the best image possible from a negative and for preserving the print's integrity for posterity. He was a very methodical photographer and demanded control over every phase of the process. He also was an experimenter and tried many films and chemicals until he found the best for his purposes.

I love hearing more of these intellectual discussions about photography. And I have ADHD and I loved hearing you guys bring that up with him. Knowing he may have had it kind of gives me hope. Photography and those other creative arts are very good job choices for many people with ADHD because you can work in the moment and you can focus on something interesting. When we're actually interested in something we can focus like you wouldn't believe. And us ADHDers sometimes come across as annoying and eccentric. So this just reinforces my belief that he probably had it. (I have ADHD and a psychology degree so I'm not just making this up.)

Ansel Adams took pictures of the Golden Gate before the bridge was built; he also took pictures of the bridge itself.

Nice of you guys to show there are many paths to take, I refer to my photography as," more then a hobby less then a job." Something that has the promise of enjoyment.

I love watching to your podcasts. There's really not a more relaxing way to spend the late evening than listening to the two of you talk about the favourite hobby of ours :)

This was brilliant. I actually find his architecture, colour and portraiture work really fascinating. He was so human. Well done guys!

Tony & Chelsea Northrup are not only easy to watch and listen to, they are extremely informative and helpful. The camera I first purchased is a Nikon Photomic F2 when I was in High School, I remember it cost me $400 (which was a lot for a kid in high school using their own money). I was lucky to know someone who worked for the airlines and purchased it in Japan for me. I still have the camera, along with some other relics and newer models including one of the last moderate Nikon's that uses film. I had a darkroom back in the 70's and kind of put photography on the back-burner when the "pocket" cameras and digital cameras came into fashion. I recently purchased the Nikon D7200 which is probably the perfect camera for me since it offers a range of photographic options, including video which I plan on using for future KZfaq videos on my "Web Series" type of media. Tony and Chelsea have an ENORMOUS amount of information, I have and will continue to support them by purchasing products and I plan on using their links to purchase even more. I think it would be a blast to hang out with Tony and Chelsea on photo shoots as their passion is similar to mine, but their knowledge and experience is light years beyond mine. If you have ANY interest in photography, you should subscribe to their channel and please support them, they really are giving way more than they know.

Another thing that his parents put in his hands, at age 13, was a season pass to San Francisco’s Panama-Pacific International Exposition in 1915, where he wandered the grounds daily shooting photos with his Brownie camera. It’s my understanding that he had permission to skip school that year. 19 million people visited the exposition.

This was your first podcast that I watched. Ansel Adams as the subject drew me in. I've enjoyed your reviews and your how-to's. And from now on I'll be enjoying your podcasts. The information was fascinating and delivered in a very enjoyable way.

A wonderful podcast about Ansel Adams. The only quibble I have is that early in the podcast you mention that Adams grew up in San Francisco and you alluded to the fact that he lived where he could see the Golden Gate bridge. My quibble is that Ansel Adams was born in 1902 but the Golden Gate bridge was built between 1933 and 1937. In fact one of Ansel's famous photos is "The Golden Gate before the Bridge" which he took in 1932. His vantage for that photo must have been a ship of some sort a mile or so west of the Golden Gate.

Chelsea and Tony, thank you for a very enlightening conversation. As an officer in our photo club, I would like to show some of your podcasts during our meetings. This particular video on Ansel Adams reveals a whole spectrum of challenges, skill and creativity that we probably all go through throughout our lives as a photographer.
