The Ansel Adams haiku
Oak tree, grassy hill,
fence posts in bottom foreground,
color, faded some.
– Leonard Blumfeld (© 2016)
Note
It’s a little known fact that the American photographer Ansel Adams (1902-1984), who is famous for his monochrome photographs of American landscapes, also experimented with color photography. This poem is a direct reference to one of his color photos, which can be seen online here. The first two lines actually consist of the photo’s matter-of-fact description at the Center for Creative Photography site.
