Over in San Francisco, there is building with art galleries on every floor. (The building’s address is 49 Geary Street, if you want to check it out.) There are probably many buildings like this. This particular one has many galleries that are dedicated to photography, so this makes it one of my favorite spots.
The other day, I went to check it out. Scott Nichols Gallery is really nice and they had prints on many of the walls. Some of it I was feeling and some not. Anyway, they had one landscape print that was matted and framed, but resting on the floor. It was a black and white landscape print, and I looked at it like “wow, those clouds look fantastic.” The quality of the print was incredible.
I tried to read whose signature it was, but I couldn’t tell. I asked the lady and she told me that it was Ansel Adams!
“Oh, no wonder the print was amazing.” I asked how much it was, and she said $30,000. I thought ok, I guess that I will be leaving now. 🙂
