Looking through my old images is like tracing my journey as a photographer. Each frame reflects a moment, showing how my perspective and skills have evolved. Those early photos carry the raw ambition of someone discovering their voice, while recent ones reveal a deeper understanding of emotion and story. They remind me how far l’ve come and inspire me to keep growing. ©️Ovidiu Selaru @ovidiuselaru_ Website - SELARUOVIDIU.COM Photos taken with passion, using the @leica_camera and thoughtfully edited in @lightroom

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.
