Elle-May
The magic of place. @ellemaywatson and I had one of the most incredible honours to stay on this breathtaking island: @satelliteisland. Richly packed with an abundance of things to do, we found ourselves most excited to just rest. Sharing a cup of coffee in a rowboat is a funny feat but enjoyable, and what a sunset we were graced with! Elle and I are in this incredible, challenging, beautiful learning stage of our life where we are seeing firsthand just how important it is to make time to discover our own way of being, for one another, for our children, for our business. It’s a balance that takes some tightrope walking! And so getting to spend a few short blissful days in one of the most stunning southern parts of the world was rewarding beyond words. Thank you to @satelliteisland for having us, and for the beauty and hard work so clearly put into your space. And a thank you to all of you here who support us making photos and videos to share with the world. It’s a special gift. #1924us #satelliteisland #love #couple #cool #fyp #reels #explore #beautiful #adventure #family #together #boat #vintage #art #aesthetic

Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
*Happy Birthday to Ansel’s ‘Monolith’!* 🏞️ “Born” on this day, April 10, 1927. Andrea Stillman’s biography “Looking at Ansel Adams” includes a wonderful chapter all about this storied photograph: “In 1992 I was in Ansel’s workroom selecting images for a prospective book of his photographs when Virginia appeared and announced that she had found a stash of home movies from the late 1920s and 1930S. With anticipation we rented a movie projector to screen them. Miraculously, one reel included footage of the trek to the Diving Board. It showed Ansel in his favorite plus fours, lugging his forty-pound pack, with a rakish fedora hat and the Keds high-top basketball shoes he favored for hiking. “The climbers struggled up…in deep snow, and when they reached the Diving Board they pulled each other up with a ludicrously thin rope. Virginia fearlessly inched out onto the sharply angled granite spur, and when she reached the tip she stood up and blithely waved. It seems appropriate that Ansel presented the very first print of ‘Monolith’ to Virginia. “Ansel was twenty-five years old when he made ‘Monolith.’ At age eighty he was able to recall the experience of making the negative, every detail as clear as it more than a half century had not elapsed. He photographed Half Dome hundreds of times, and there are many different interpretations that include moons, clouds, snow, flowers, leaves, trees, even deer and people. In 1978, during one of his last annual Yosemite workshops, he and his photographic assistant, John Sexton, contemplated Half Dome together and talked about the taking of ‘Monolith’ in 1927. According to John, Ansel laughingly confided, ‘Maybe I should just have stopped then.’” Text, film footage and Ansel Adams images are copyright ©️The Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust.
