Just because you didn’t get to go to that awesome photography conference doesn’t mean that you can’t learn something from the pros! Occasionally, we’ll be featuring a recommended photography lecture or interview on Phototuts+.

Alan Ross was Ansel Adams' darkroom assistant for many years. His insight into Adams' work is comprehensive and extremely interesting. Skip whatever tepid reality TV show you usually watch, and enjoy this unique look into the life of a master photographer.
