My Favorite Ansel Adams photo

 Maybe it's because I was Moon crazy as a kid in the 1960s but Moonrise, Hernandez New Mexico was always my favorite Ansel Adams photo:

There's even a wiki page about it, about a single photograph !  :

I remember going to a photo exhibition as a young person, it was at the Riverview school on the Milwaukee river in Glendale, WI.  I think by then Riverview had closed and the Layton School of Art had moved in.  Anyway, the exhibition had a lot of photographs, the only two I remember now were Moonrise and also a pepper still life by Edward Weston:

I'm telling you folks, resist colorization:  black and white is elemental: just paper, silver and gelatin - no dyes or pigments required !
