Edie’s Image of the Day: Mr. Alan Ross

iPhone 20120314-_0207.jpg

I was very flattered when I received notification that Alan Ross had decided to follow my Twitter stream–I’d met him briefly when he’d come to Yosemite to re-photograph Ansel’s Moon Over Half Dome several years ago.  Mr. Ross was one of Ansel’s assistants, and has established himself as a photographic artist in his own right.

I had the pleasure of visiting him on a recent trip, and meeting his gracious wife and two gregarious dogs.  I am also pleased to say that I finally have “stepped foot” into a darkroom, an auspicious first.  Thank you to Alan for his hospitality!

Mr. Ross is currently leading a workshop here in Yosemite.  I wish him good light and happy ‘graphing with his students.
