Ansel Adams (signed) - Polaroid Land Photography - New York Graphic Society 1978

In 1963, after nearly a decade of experimentation with the revolutionary Polaroid Land process, Ansel Adams wrote "It is unfortunate that so many photographers have thought of the Land camera as a 'toy', a casual device for 'fun' pictures, or, at best a gadget to make record pictures! ... The process has revolutionized the art and craft of photography - and is still barely across the threshold of development."
This book, originally published in 1963 appeared in this edition, totally revised and updated, covering the entire range of Polaroid photography. Adams emphasises the role of careful craftsmanship, whether the purpose of the image is creative or functional. Properly used, Adams believes Polaroid images may possess beautiful tonal qualities not possible with other processes.
With the collaboration of Robert Baker
