Currently at the Duncan Miller Gallery over in West LA is "Ansel Adams Vintage and Modern Prints". Now I'm sure you've heard the whole hoopla about the widely publicized disputed "lost" Ansel Adams garage-sale find of Rick Norsigian as well as Earl Brooks "Uncle Earl" photographs which is believe to the unknown photographer who shot the Norsigian find. For the first time, the public can walk in and view these images in person.
On Sept 19 there'll be afternoon lecture as follows :
