Story Behind the Image
In the Fall of 1975, I was working for Ansel and had some vacation time racked up. I decided to make a first-time visit to the northern parks of the West, and headed up to the Tetons, Yellowstone, Glacier, up into Canada and then home through Vancouver and down the West Coast.
I got into Jackson Hole late one evening and headed into the Tetons the next morning. I wasn’t far up the road when I saw this little cabin sitting in a field just in front of changing aspens and the Tetons themselves. I pulled over and got out my 4x5 Cambo and 90mm lens. I made one image and decided the cabin had to be more of a hero so changed to my trusty old 203mm Ektar. Kodak Film-Pack film - I think Plus-X.
About Artist
Alan Ross is an internationally respected master photographer and educator who expresses his unique vision with a combination of traditional photographic craftsmanship and today’s technology. His tonally exquisite photographs take the viewer from the grandeur of the American West to the changing faces of China to abstractions created by the relationship of objects both natural and man-made. Each image is a purely visual and emotional response to the subject matter, executed with an exacting eye and superior technical artistry.
Alan honed his vision and technique while working side-by-side with Ansel Adams in the field and in the darkroom as his full-time photographic assistant. He was integrally involved with Adams’ books, teaching in Yosemite, and production of fine prints. Alan was personally selected by Adams to be the exclusive printer of the Yosemite Special Edition Photograph negatives, an assignment he has enjoyed for nearly 50 years. As such, Alan knows Ansel’s approach and technique perhaps better than any other photographer today.
