Inspiration Point
I am a big fan of National Public Radio’s show All Things Considered and have really enjoyed this week’s focus on the various wonders of the National Park Service. I was particularly intrigued by yesterday’s quirky interview with Moose Mutlow, an environmental education instructor at Yosemite National Park, who tracks roadkill in an attempt to figure out what gets killed and why. It was a completely different view of the park than I have grown accustomed to seeing in the majestic photographs of Ansel Adams (1902–1984). One such view, Adams’ awe-inspiring 1948 photograph, Clearing Winter Storm, can currently be seen in the Carter’s Masterworks of American Photography exhibition. Take a trip to the site of the photograph without leaving your desk, and then come see the real thing before it goes off view on November 16.
i agree so much. i believe the artistic ability of this artist is in fact endiring and comes straight from the heart. He is a wonder and important part in the western civilzation art.
