Oceans, Rivers, and Clouds – Classic Nature Photography
The works of three outstanding American nature photographers from different generations, Alfred Stieglitz, Ansel Adams and Robert Adams, each capture the essence of nature, in images of clouds, surf and rivers.
The collection on exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC showcases 21 images, including:
- Stieglitz’s series of ten photos of clouds over Lake George, New York, a collection which has not been shown in its entirety since a 1923.
- Ansel Adams’ photos of the coastline and surf along San Mateo’s coast, south of San Francisco.
- Robert Adams’ images of the Columbia River emptying into the Pacific in Oregon.

My husband collected B & W nature photography. siiilar to A Adams, B. Weston etc. I want to keep a few of the orignal A. Adams etc. but have many others of lesser known photographers, all B & W portfolios etc. Have any ideas of how I could get rid of them. I don’t have room anymore. I wondered if there is a buyer in Charleston or Savannah.
