ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A woman in Missouri may have stumbled across a huge collection of Ansel Adams photographs—a photographer famous for his pictures of American southwestern landscapes. The collection would have been taken on one of his trips through the southwest in the 1930s and 1940s. Now, the owner of this collection is trying to spread awareness about the newly unearthed photographs.
“I could see that the detail in these photos was unlike anything I’d ever seen in any photo,” explained Kelly Robinson, owner of the collection.
“It is a nice representation of an historical view of 1930s and 40s Americana,” Robinson said, “It shows how a thriving America was represented with big industry. Steel companies; there’s a lot of other things represented in this collection that show what was going on in America during that time period.”
