I am grateful to the Ansel Adams Gallery for asking to include prints of these five photographs in the upcoming exhibit at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Valley: "The Great Certainty: Photographs Commemorating 100 Years of National Park Service Stewardship"
"Following the inception of the park ideal in the 19th Century (thanks in part to photography) and after decades of turnstile administration, The National Park Service was created in 1916 to secure and ensure the survival of these lands that today we hold as necessary crossings in life. As part of the 100th Anniversary of the formation of The National Park Service, The Ansel Adams Gallery is hosting the exhibition, “The Great Certainty” in celebration of this important and long lasting institution. Works featuring a wide variety of National Parks, Monuments and protected lands will be displayed including those made by Ansel Adams, William Neill, Keith S. Walklet, Charles Cramer and more. This exhibition will begin on August 5 and run through September 10th. We hope you have an opportunity to stop by The Ansel Adams Gallery during your visit to see all of this great art in person."
