eastern sierra exploring autumn light workshop looking back i had no idea that this first workshop would mark the beginning of my lifelong journey as a photographic educator teaching photography has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of my career when someone entrusts me with their learning i take that responsibility seriously seeing students grow improve and find success over the years has been incredibly rewarding some have even shared that attending one of my workshops was a life changing experience a sentiment i understand well as my own life was forever changed when woods and i attended ansel adams 1973 workshop in yosemite original silver gelatin print by john available online at discounted price i am pleased to offer a handmade silver gelatin print of my image white branch

sexton all rights reserved scanned from the silver gelatin print to place a secure online order for this print follow this link https ventanaeditions store turbify net whbrmeri html i made this photograph almost exactly fifty years ago the day after thanksgiving in 1974 during a photography trip to yosemite with ray mcsavaney my good friend and workshop partner ray and i met when we were both participants at the ansel adams gallery easter workshop in 1974 we were randomly assigned as roommates and were surprised to find that we only lived about 10 miles apart in southern california we developed a friendship during the workshop and got together frequently after the inspiring experience we shared together in yosemite valley following my family s thanksgiving celebration i drove all night and met ray in yosemite shortly after sunrise the day was bitterly cold frost covered the grass and ice had formed on areas of still water and remained throughout the day as dusk was approaching we decided to travel down the merced river gorge in our separate vehicles me in my orange vw super beetle and ray in his stylish yellow ford pinto station wagon i was leading and if i saw something i liked i would pull off if ray saw something he liked he would flash his headlights at me while navigating the narrow gorge i spotted a striking branch covered with heavy white frost in the merced river the branch and its perfect reflection seemed almost luminescent in the dim light of dusk i immediately pulled off the road and as i stepped out ray remarked i m glad you stopped i was just about to flash my lights we both made photographs within a few feet of one another but they turned out quite differently as a photography major i had learned about making long exposures in the studio and for night architectural photographs however i had never attempted an exposure in the landscape longer than a few seconds before i made this image working with 4x5 tri x film i used kodak s reciprocity compensation table and ended up with a 1 minute exposure with my 4x5 camera with a 210mm lens after giving the film normal development i was pleasantly surprised when i first saw the negative in the fixer when turning on the white lights despite the successful negative i didn t print the image immediately other projects took precedence in 1976 after graduating with a bachelor s degree in photography from chapman college i began teaching photography i realized i was spending a great deal of time helping other people learn about photography but was not spending nearly as much time on my own photography as i previously had i gave myself the assignment to spend one hour each day working specifically on my own photography as i was sorting through old contact sheets during that time i rediscovered this image and found it of great interest it was as if i was seeing the contact sheet and negative with a new set of eyes the next day i put it into the enlarger and printed it for the first time i believe this new vision of the image was because in the more than two years that had passed i had made a number of other successful images during the unique and often magical twilight hours as i was pouring through the old contact sheets i saw the image of the white branch in the context of these other images i have found over the years that going back and revisiting contact sheets from the past can sometimes lead to the discovery of an overlooked jewel this silver gelatin selenium toned print is approximately 13 x 10 3 8 personally printed by me as are all my prints processed to current archival standards signed mounted and matted to 16x20 on 100 percent rag museum board prints will begin shipping on december 2 2024 if you would like to receive your print in time for the

are thrilled and deeply honored to announce our third two person exhibition at the ansel adams gallery in majestic yosemite national park the exhibition sharing the sublime which opened on november 10 2023 will be on display through january 6 2024 you can view a number of the images included in the exhibition here our relationship with the ansel adams gallery has been a fulfilling and long standing partnership anne has been represented by the gallery for over a decade as for me i am deeply humbled to hold the unique honor of being the gallery s longest represented photographer aside from ansel adams himself this distinction is particularly special considering the gallery s illustrious history that spans more than 120 years my association with the gallery spanning a mere forty three years has been an important part of my artistic journey we are pleased to share a selection of curated prints from negatives that span the years of our artistic journey together for both anne and me the magic of light as it reveals our subjects is an integral aspect of our creative photographic process through our work we aspire to reveal not only the intrinsic beauty of the subjects before our lenses but also to convey the exhilaration and inspiration that we experienced when making each image while we both employ similar photographic tools our individual approaches yield distinct palettes in our respective prints as is the case with all our prints the prints in this exhibition are handcrafted black and white silver gelatin prints made in our traditional wet darkroom which is a place where magic happens for us both we owe a great debt of gratitude to evan russel our steadfast collaborator and curator at the ansel adams gallery for the past eleven years evan in his thoughtfully written curator s note has these very kind words about our photographs photography is about connection and communication it is about an experience that an artist is attempting to share with a greater audience those of like mind and at common odds whether by absurdist irony or realist approach as ansel adams would say when words become unclear i shall focus with photographs when looking at a photograph by anne larsen or john sexton i am immediately transported to an emphatic place of quiet light there is a familiarity and fellowship with each subject regardless of its whereabouts or any notion of its prior existence the darkest aspen forests glow ice playfully masquerades as a sea of cumulus clouds and the dazzling morning sun scattered through fog is shrouding i feel connected focused and welcome emanating from the silver prints by both anne and john is this tacit notion of truth of genuine places communicating a sympathetic sublimity that is unique yet somehow universal to us all if you happen to find yourself in beautiful yosemite national park between now and january 6 2024 we invite you to stop by the gallery to see our photographs on display moreover for those who might be in yosemite on december 16 2023 we extend a personal invitation to join us for the gallery s artists reception between 11 am and 2 pm it would be a pleasure and an honor to see friends and hopefully make some new ones after all we would not want to be the only ones along with evan in attendance kodak professional photographic chemicals breaking news earlier in the year a number of our
