@@TristanAdams Rule 1 for filming: hold the camera steady. Rule 2: don’t pan around too quickly:)
I was using a terrible camera but I have upgraded my equipment since then. Thank you for your feedback!
My Lifetime Idol ❤️😂❤️

Thats so cool and amazing artwork and realistic too
I have been lucky enough to see a handful of Watkins prints live. Both at Photography West in Carmel, and several art galleries in South Lake Tahoe. And, I have seen a lot of albumen work by various artists, but his is some of the best. The prints I saw all had unusually high contrast with deep and exquisitely rich and saturated values. I am very sad to see that his studio succumbed to the SF earthquake and fire; I did not know that. What a sad way to end such a productive life. Thanks for such a wonderful presentation!
I was also lucky enough to see a lot of Brett's work live. Mostly at the Weston gallery in Monterey and the Photography West gallery also in Monterey. He had a more modern eye than EW, not so much in symmetry and overall composition--they were both much alike in that way, but in how far he pushed his tonalities, especially from the 1960's on. His printwork became far more contrasty than his dad's. I was also lucky enough to see a number of his remakes of EW's prints from the 1950's. They were certainly beautiful, but did not quite reach the fine tonal gradations his dad was able to coax from the negatives. Also, I did meet him at Photography West. He seemed to be a very down-to-earth and kind man, and had a very strong presence, and high intellect.
I have been lucky. Probably about 1/2 of your pictured images I have seen in real life: in Maggie Weston's gallery in Carmel, Photography West gallery--also in Carmel, in the home of Morley Baer (was a friend of EW), and in the Carnegie Museum in Toledo, OH. Nice presentation! His later work (mid 1930's on) was absolutely spectacular. His earlier work: not so much. There was definitely a learning curve, a lot of it I think related to his time in Mexico.
Very nice! I was kind of shocked to see "Cloud and Mountain" included in your presentation. Shocked because I own the signed Parmelian print from Virginia Adams' collection. Most folks don't give the Parmelian prints much credit, but 3 of his most famous images are Parmelian. Thanks for this very nice presentation!
Thanks for this. She is brilliant!
Inspirational.
Thx for sharing these great photos of Ansel Adams
My teacher and friend. :) Lucky me.

Thank you for putting this together. Whilst not all the subject matter is to my taste I can at least admire the great talent.
