LUDINGTON — Head to one of the growing number of art galleries in Ludington Pentwater and Manistee and you likely will recognize a scene from your trip to a nearby beach or woodsy trail. You’ll also find art influenced in more subtle ways by the natural beauty in these West Michigan beach playgrounds. At Pentwater’s Our Gallery children playing in the sand are a favorite subject in the oil pastels of owner Cheri Petri.

Journeys | Yosemite National Park What Adams Saw Through His Lens
New York Times – Apr 27, 2008
Adams first visited Yosemite in 1916 when he was 14 years old. On that trip he hopped up on a tree stump to take a photo of Half Dome then stumbled headfirst and accidentally pushed the shutter release. The upside-down image remained one of Adams’s favorites he wrote in his autobiography. The park itself also remained a favorite. Adams ended up living much of his life in Yosemite and took many of his most well-known photographs there. Today it is not unusual to encounter professional photographers and novices alike trying to retrace his path. They wait for the perfect minute of moonrise over Half Dome or a shadow on a fallen tree in Siesta Lake… It is in the park’s central area called Yosemite Valley and displays and sells Adams’s work as well as photos taken by several contemporary artists. Before Adams died in 1984 he spent years living in a house behind the gallery and leading workshops there. Now others teach the workshops and the gallery is managed by Adams’s grandchildren. The gallery’s staff leads free camera walks three days a week. The gallery also shows a free film about Adams once a week rents out cameras and tripods and sells keepsakes and guidebooks. I ordered three books written by Adams from the gallery’s Web site before my trip: Adams’s autobiography his collected photos of Yosemite and a step-by-step explanation of some of his works called “Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs. ” By the time our plane landed in Fresno Calif.
