Ansel Adams, Dunes, Oceano, California, 1963, gelatin silver print \| Collection of the KIA, Gift of Wm. John Upjohn © 2013 The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust		Sight and Feeling: Photographs by Ansel Adams January 26 - June 23, 2013 Ansel Adams' skill at creating photographs with a remarkable range and subtly of tones is legendary. Yet for all his technical mastery, Adams recognized that what made a compelling photograph was far more elusive. This exhibition of Adams' photographs from the KIA collection and local collectors suggests how his intuitive and emotional response to the landscape resulted in powerful and enduring photographs.
