ENTS,
Did any of you happen to watch the PBS program: American Experience-
Ansel Adams that was on tonight? (Perhaps not everywhere.)
Adams was one of the west's greatest photographers. At times when
you look at his work you might wonder what all the fuss is about,
but at other times you can see the brilliance of some of his shots.
This program talked about the man and his work. It is materials such
as this that allows me to have a greater appreciation of what the
man has accomplished and provides a perspective on his work as it
relates to myself as an individual. If you have not seen the
program, I would recommend watching it. Even if you are not an Ansel
Adams fan to begin with, I am sure you will be one by the end of the
program. You can search www.pbs.org for airings in your area. It can
also be ordered through Amazon
on DVD for 14.99 I recorded it, but may buy the DVD anyway for the
increased quality. Seeing the documentary makes me want to run out
and get some of his prints. There is an article available on the web
called Walking with Robert Frost which similarly inspired me to read
more Frost. Another example is an article that appeared in Outside
Magazine about Collin Spencer. He was the first man to hike the
entire trail along the length of the Grand Canyon among others. One
of the great hikers in history. The main focus of the article was
that he was not dead but still active even though he dropped out of
sight.

Ed-
Good points!
By the way, I believe in the last decade or so, Collin did another
Colorado River epic book, this time in a small watercraft from way
up in the headwaters down to the Sea of Cortez (involved some
portaging as I recall).
