I took this at a 138-photo Ansel Adams exhibit in Missoula, MT. This is my reflection in an original signed print of Moonrise, Hernandez. I thought it fit the theme as the photo seemed transparent on a few levels. Couldn't think of a clever title yet.

I too wish I had his vision. I like the concept you were going for here.

Thanks guys. Seeing these works of art in person really brings a whole new level of appreciation for it. Glad I could make a WA entry out of it too!

That exhibit was here in Atlanta at the High Museum a couple of years ago, it was really special to spend time at it.

Interesting take on the theme, mixed transparency and reflection of glass, nicely seen.

Thanks Travis. The exhibit was really special. Certain photographs that never quite stood out to me on screen really stood out in person, especially the ones that were blown up quite large, like Aspens, Northern New Mexico. Impressive stuff. I'm glad I had the chance to see the exhibit.

I haven't had the pleasure of viewing any of Adams' work in person, but I like your take on this weeks theme.

Mike,
Very cool! As many already know, this Ansel photograph is claimed to be the greatest photograph ever taken.
