I disagree about Annie - she was good in the beginning when she was the face of RS, but when large corporations began investing in her she got a seriously swelled head and along with it came some really serious money. I have to say that serious money is very distracting, sort of like a great pair of boobs. Maybe she was after both.

I agree about Annie, she was not that great. She just got lucky and ended

I agree with those statements.   I think Annie Libowitz 
is a total B!$&@ but other don't.    When I was an assistant 
Photographers where dicks all the time.   One of Tomoko's first 
question to me when we started dating was, " Do yo treat your assistance like 
shit?"   I just smiled and laughed.  She then said.   
Why are all photographers such a holes to their assistance?   That 
answer was easy.   They all suck at reading my mind.

  I don’t know them. Are they? It’s mostly kids behind who come along and 
  cll us oldsters liars like you’re doing right here with me. Ansel was a good 
  teacher if you stuck your pride in a sock and obeyed his directions. But he 
  wasn’t perfectly nice all the time -- I’m not either as you already 
know.

  I see Ansel as a photographer who was at his best before 1950. He was a 
  great publicist and promoted photography in general to sell his own 
  reputation. I guess nobody you knew ever got promised a box of 55PN, huh? I’m 
  still waiting and somehow I don’t think it’s coming.

        them. So between them and my father I am going to go with the gracious 
        adams stories and not the jan version.   

      Ansel was not a very nice guy to talented photographers coming along. 
      I’m glad you’re happy with sugarcoating his memories, as I am not. The 
      worst part about getting older and still having a good memory is that kids 
      like you come along behind and call us liars. He hated competitors and if 
      you could lift a 4x5, you were a competitor.

      The best thing AA ever did for me was to tell me I would never become 
      a photographer.
