Description

Adams refunds an enrollee in his Yosemite photography seminar: "We have had an extremely heavy response to the workshop announcement"

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, April 3, 1980. Letter to Fletcher Shives, in part: “I am sorry to inform you that we will not be able to enroll you in the Ansel Adams Yosemite Workshops this year. A check for $100 refunding your tuition deposit will be sent to you from The Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite within 2-3 weeks. We have had an extremely heavy response to the workshop announcement, and have reviewed more than twice the number of applications than we have spaces available…There are several alternatives to the June workshops I would like to recommend. One is the workshop program sponsored by the Friends of Photography in Carmel, California…Other excellent workshop opportunities are offered by the Owens Valley Photography Workshops…The Zone VI Workshops run by Fred Picker in Newfane, Vermont may be of interest also.” In fine condition.
