There was a showing of some of Adams' work at the High Point Museum last year, and even the double printed photos in the large coffe tqable books could not compete with the quality of a well made photo, right in front of your eyes in all of its glory. I do landscapes and they look puny and insignificant when compared to Adams' photos. To be there and see the luminosity, shadow detail and exquisite texture just blows any form of second generation reproduction away. Personally, I was humbled. Even though Adams is not my favourite photographer, artist or whatever, I am still in awe of the mood and sensitivity conveyed in his work. Oh, yes- erotic would be a better word, as you point out, but then again, I love "pitchers of nekkid wimmen" and have never read Playboy for the articles! <G> ( That is, as we'uns say down South- Grinnin' like a 'possum!)
