Marc Silber Visits Ansel Adams' Home and Darkroom

For more info: http://www.silberstudios.tv This is the extended version of my visit to Ansel Adams' home and darkroom. You'll hear his son Michael talk about some of Ansel's most iconic images, including the breakthrough he had when he first visualized the image of Half Dome. This led to the development of his unique and masterful style. You'll also see much more of his darkroom and hear about how Ansel worked and see the darkroom he custom built, like none on earth. Join us now for this rare, behind the scenes look. A special thanks to Rocky Barbanica who originally Produced this (with Robert Scoble manning one of the cameras) when we were putting the show together for FastCompany.

Adam's book "The Print" explains his enlarger...built from studio view cameras. He adopted banks of fluorescent lights very early on...and his last edition of The Print mentions using a laser collimeter to align the planes of the negative, the lens, and the paper, as I recall. Adams was a Nerd Sensei in all technology relating to film photography.
I just set up an Omega D2 darkroom, and this was pretty cool to see the continuity of the craft over the better part of a century....

That darkroom is awe inspiring!

@ZDP189HK Yes, but only his test prints. Final prints were not microwaved.

Ansel's photos changed me, and I've been a pro since 1985, in large part because of Yosemite and the Range of Light. (Autographed!)

This was phenomenal. Ansel Adams was a hero to me in my early photographic career. My NYC sink was my darkroom. I sincerely miss the days of film.
This rare video insight of Ansel's home and his darkroom was amazing. I thank you for this. It brought back so many personal memories of myself, my nikons, my pentax 6x7, ilford and tri-x film. Thanks again ... Great interview.
