Ansel Adams house

We're on the net right now.

Wow.

And we're in Ansel Adams house right now. And it's your house now.

My house. Michael Adams. Wow. This is like coming to church because.

I mean just take us on a. Like a one minute tour. We're gonna do a full HD tour. But just give me a tour of what's going on here.

I mean there's.

So it's like coming to church for me. I mean I see all of my favorite photography and huge versions.

So here we. Well, here we were last weekend. Yeah. Right across from where that picture is taken. And we discussed that. And these are some pictures that pretty much are.

Come on over here.

Some of the similar ones that were in the house and have been in the house over the years. Moonrise Hernandez. We talked about that, I believe up at Glacier Point. If not, we can talk about it here.

Now is this.

Is this.

This is not signed by.

Was this actually printed by Ansel? Yeah. So this. I don't think there's a signature. He didn't sign the murals very often. Occasionally somebody would get him to take an orange stick which I think people use to clean under the fingernails. It's kind of a firm wooden thing. And he would sometimes inscribe. I've seen a couple, but most of the murals weren't some.

Now that's on the market. Is this the version that would sell for. In the $600,000 range?

I don't know. The one that sold at that high range was a vintage print that was printed very close to the original time it was taken. And that gave it the value. This has value, but I couldn't tell you. Wow. Hold on a second.

I gotta get rocking my.

Keith.

I'll be right up then.

This is a screen also done here in the dark room with this. Those are. That's a three panel photographic screen.

And the music playing, by the way, is Hansel Adams.

Hansel Adams playing music, playing piano.

Because he started his career thinking he was going to be a musician.

Absolutely. He was. Didn't change that until the late 20s, early 30s after he had. Did. Had taking the mov. The monolith picture where he realized he had a talent. A talent, right.

Oh yeah.

This is beautiful.

And it's a beautiful. You can see why he chose to.

Live here, can't you? Yes.

Carmel is just one of my favorite places.

Pretty spectacular place. Very spectacular. So what.

Give me a little. A little bit more of.

Well, some of these are early. This is the one taken in Boston from. From Upenham Hotel. This Is Point Sur down south here. That was about 1960. This was a telephoto of Mount Lyle and Mount McClure, probably done in the late 20s. Glass plate there. You can tell it's a different process. It's sort of sepia. Yeah. And it was the paper they were using in those days. This one is a fairly well known one. Yosemite. Yeah.

Where was that shot?

Down in the Merced river area down in the lower end of the valley. This is a relatively unknown one. He used that in a book. He wrote his first book on photography and making a photograph in about 1935-36. And that happened to illustrate. And I'd never seen one until this came on the market. And actually we picked it up at an auction. Well, this is an early one from the East Coast. Not. Not really early. And this is Windows. Actually I think that's done in Hawaii. And this is. It was pretty good at piano. It was good. I've never heard of Charles Healer's mantle. And that's some sculptures too. That's pretty much what's on the wall. Oh, great. Where's the dark room? We'll get to that.

We might not be able to click that because we're going to do that for our HD cameras, but.

Wow.

Now tell me about some of the art.

Well, here, this is Sunrise Laguna Pueblo. That's believed in the late 30s. And this is the one you were interested in last week in Yosemite. This is one of the most well known. Yosemite. He called it Clearing Winter Storm. Yeah. Done in 1938.

I've been to that point.

You. Yeah, Quite a bit of time there the other day.

But I've been there dozens of times and it never looks like.

Right.

Frederick. If it stand in the same spot, it wouldn't look.

This was entitled Mal Williamson MANZANAR. Yeah. Around 1944. And this, this one is Sand Dunes, Sunrise, Death Valley. Yeah. This one is entitled Thunderstorm Great Plains. It was taken from around Cimarron.

Now was this before Moonrise Over Hernandez.

That was 1941. This was probably in the 50s. Okay. This is Canyon Shea. White house, roof and. Oh, that's cool.

I've never been there. I've always wanted to go there. Where is that?

In Arizona. Arizona. And this was morning worst Cliffs, Cliffs, River, Autumn, Yosemite. This is a fairly well known one. This just happens to be a mural side. Yeah.

And then of course.

Halftime. I was going to show you something when you turn off your machine. All right. There was a Architectural Digest that they did this house back in the 60s, and it shows sort of the transition, but it'll look almost the same. Well, thank you very much.

Well, Rocky's setting up, so we'll do it professionally in a second.
