This surprising book presents 50 beautiful full-color images by the great American landscape photographer, Ansel Adams, marking the first time that a significant body of Ansel Adams' color work has ever been published.

Ansel Adams began to photograph in color soon after Kodachrome was invented in the mid-1930s, and shot more that 3,000 color images during his lifetime. Very few of these photographs, however, were published or exhibited. As Adams remarked late in life after observing the advances in color printing techniques, "People are skeptical about my thoughts on color. I do not blame them, as I have protested it and have not shown my color pictures. I feel the urge now and wish I were sixty years younger!" The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust, working with the distinguished photographer Harry Callahan, decided to share this remarkable body of work, reproduced in accordance with Adams' exacting standards, through state-of-the-art color imaging and printing technology.

These images, accompanied by an introductory essay by James Enyeart and a selection of Ansel Adams' thoughtful, often contradictory writings on color photography, add a fascinating new dimension to Adams' enduring legacy.
