[Smithsonian] Ansel Adams never made up his mind about color photography. Long before his death in 1984 at age 82, he foresaw that this &#8220;beguiling medium&#8221; might one day replace his cherished black and white. In notes tentatively dated to 1949, he observed that &#8220;color photography is rapidly becoming of major importance.&#8221;
Yet he once likened [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pensum.wordpress.com&blog=4614311&post=2014&subd=pensum&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Feeling in the moments of deathlike existence: all people are worthy of love.
Awakening you feel the world&#8217;s bitterness; in it is all your unresolved guilt;
your poem an imperfect atonement.
Georg Trakl, 1914
