ABOUT THE LECTURE
"A Journey of Discovery: My Life with Ansel Adams"
Curator of "Discovering Ansel Adams," Dr. Rebecca Senf will share her decades of experience working with the Ansel Adams Archive at the Center for Creative Photography and how that intimate knowledge of the photographer has led to this distinctive exhibition. She will provide insights about his childhood and career, offer context, and reveal stories about Adams to enrich visitors’ exhibition experience.
