We were able to visit the Booth Western Art Museum in Cartersville, Georgia and see the Ansel Adams exhibit. I've always enjoyed his work but to see his prints first hand was amazing. The exhibition contained over 130 original prints, as well as, some of his darkroom equipment including his horizontal enlarger. This collection was purchased from the Sierra Club by a private collector and loaned to the museum for several months. The exhibit will close by the end of March and these works of art will no longer be available to the public. What a shame. Hopefully, the collector will continue to be as generous as he has in the past and in the future allow the exhibit to travel to other museums .
I'm not a fan of western art but the Booth Museum is worth a visit. Expect to spend several hours viewing the extensive collection. The museum is much larger than I expected, around 120,000 square feet.
It's a cold, wet dreary Saturday, so how about a bunch of daffodils from Linda's flower garden (the entire yard) to brighten the day.
