Ansel Adams #portrait of Georgia O’Keeffe and Orville Cox was made at the rim of Canyon de Chelly. “I was walking around with my Zeiss Contax,” Adams wrote, “and I observed O’Keeffe and Cox in breezy conversation standing on a rock slope above me. They were engaged in a bit of banter. The moment was now.”
This #photo is considered by many as one of Adams' best. It is one of the few portraits that he included in his major retrospective at NYC’s Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1974. #history
