Behind the shot: It Paid to be up early in Paris. This particular shot was taken around 5am whilst the street cleaners were out on the street. I was looking for someone to walk through and just got lucky when this runner came by with his dog.

Ansel Adams Photographer, Artist & Activist
Back in the day, Ansel’s fellow photographer and friend Edward Weston lived a few hours south of San Francisco, in Carmel, and Ansel often drove down the coast to visit him and his wife, Charis. On one visit he recalled, “I told Charis I was looking for a place to make a really good photograph of Edward. She said there was a big eucalyptus tree nearby that he liked.” Earlier that year Edward had photographed the tree’s “exciting roots.” When Ansel eventually moved to Carmel many years later, he built a home not far from it. In ‘Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs,’ he wrote, “At first I was not satisfied with the location and I began to explore nearby. Edward sat down at the base of the tree to await my decision.” After initially gravitating towards the picket fence, Ansel “suddenly saw the inevitable image. . . . The relatively small figure at the base of the huge tree, the convoluted roots, and the beautiful quiet light” of a foggy coastal day. “I pleaded, ‘Edward please just keep sitting there.’ I was very excited and fumbled my meter, dropped my focusing cloth and inadvertently kicked the tripod leg. Edward was amused and relaxed.” Image 1: ‘Edward Weston, Carmel Highlands, California,’ 1945.
