After returning home from Palm Springs we met up with Grandma and Grandpa Cahn to see the Ansel Adams show at the Drkrm Gallery in downtown LA.
The interesting thing about this show is that it showcased rare photographs taken by Adams in the 40's for Fortune Magazine. Years later he donated the unused photographs to the Los Angeles Public Library with a note apologizing because he felt that none of the pictures were very good. The note also included this zinger - "if they have no value whatsoever, please dispose of them in the incinerator... At any event, I do not want them back." Surprisingly - the photographs were selling for $10,000. I guess they weren't as bad as he thought!
