The Passing of Another American Icon
This afternoon, my beautiful redheaded wife and I were driving out to
the hardware store to get some stuff for the barn. We heard on
the radio that
Ronald Reagan died. Later, we went to Barnes & Noble to sit
around and read and drink good coffee. As usual, I spent some
time in the photography section. On the way out of the
bookstore, we noticed that they already had put up a sales exhibit with
books about Mr. Reagan.
This got me to thinking: I feel bad that I missed the opportunity to commemorate the death of another great American Icon.
Back on April 22, 2004, it was the twentieth anniversary of the death of Ansel Easton Adams. (born 2-20-1902 in San Francisco, California
died 4-22-1984 in Monterey, California, at age 82)
In this post, I explain why Ansel Adams was an American icon, and why I still have some respect for Ronald Reagan. Read the rest at The Rest of the Story.
