On a recent wine tour in Napa, Linda and I had an opportunity to not only taste some of Mumm Napa’s award-winning sparkling wines, but also take in their exhibit of twenty-seven gelatin silver prints created by Ansel Adams. Titled Poetry of Light, the collection is on loan from the Adams family.
In 1980, President Jimmy Carter awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom to Adams, saying, “Drawn to beauty of nature’s monuments, he is regarded by environmentalists as a monument himself, and by photographers as a national institution.”
