Composing Ansel Adams


I heard this on All Things Considered the other day and thought it'd be good to share if you haven't heard it. Musicians Dave Brubeck and his son Chris have taken Ansel Adams's photographs and set them to music. Before he fell in love with  Yosemite, Adams was studying to be a concert pianist. Which I find really interesting because I know so many photographers, me included, who set out to study music before becoming encompassed in photography. 

It's a great piece with, of coarse, excellent interviews that gives us listeners a small peep into these creative minds.
