Ansel Adams: on contrivance

Ansel Adams discusses some creative issues on the FIAT LUX project. (From a 1971 interview with Ruth Teiser, archived at the Bancroft Library.)

These excerpts from Adams' 1971 interview are interludes in "Take Five," a program of filmed interviews with University of California faculty, staff, alumni, and students as well as members of the general public created by filmmakers Kwame Braun and Catherine Cole in relation to the Fiat Lux photographic collection by Ansel Adams (http://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu/fl-...). "Take Five" videos will be released on the web throughout Fall 2012. To get regular updates, follow "On the Same Page" on Twitter or Facebook: http://onthesamepage.berkeley.edu. "Take Five" videos will also appear as part of the exhibition "Fiat Lux Redux: Ansel Adams and Clark Kerr" at The Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley opening on September 27, 2012 and running through February 28, 2013 (http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/Exhibits...).
