TLS, on a 6 x 4.25 postcard photo of Adams’s ‘Surf and Rocks,’ October 31, 1980. Letter of photographic advice. In full: “That’s quite a weighty question which you have placed before me. But given your two choices I would opt for a combination—one must have enough technique to communicate without distraction—but if there is no feeling or concern behind the making of the photograph one is making an empty statement. I wish you well with your photography.” In fine condition.
