Kirk, you Anthony Hopkins, and Ansel could have been related... Ansel looks a little like a young Hopkins, no?
Heard him speak at an SPE Conference in Carmel, CA. It was one with an open bar so I don't remember much. He was actually pretty funny when he wanted to be. I always thought it was very cool that in later years he dried a lot of his test strips and prints in a microwave.

I will never look at Kirk the same again (NO, not that way!). I usually say that to myself after each time I meet up with him.
Ten tries? Ansel Adams is to photography as Norman Rockwell is to painting. Someone would have just said "Ansel Adams" as a lucky guess before ten tries.
There had to be at least one other photographer with a pair of br*** ones up there, too, who took that photo.

Interesting thread.. Never would have suspected so many photogs / x-photogs were Hamb-sters. Count me in, too, please. But of the old guard, I was more partial to MBW and Russel Lee. Gary
