A short few years ago the Ansel Adams print exhibition came to
Christchurch, and I saw it. I think it was his 100 best prints, or some such.
Yes, it was great to see his work in the flesh.
But I also have the book with the same prints, and to tell the truth, I like
the
book prints a whole lot better. Heresy or not.
