Ansel Adams at Manzanar

Today Phil and I went to the Ansel Adams exhibit at the Japanese American National Museum. They were having musical performances and free admission, and we've really been wanting to go have a look. It was a beautifully curated show. Ansel Adams was one of the few photographers allowed into the Manzanar Internment camp in the 40's. His photos were very moving, as was the whole exhibit................they displayed all kinds of artifacts and other photos from inside the camps. This was a great exhibit of all the suitcases (you were allowed only one) belonging to those being relocated.
I highly recommend this exhibit if you live in LA.
