In Memoriam: Ansel Adams
February 20, 1902 — April 22, 1984
🌎 Every day is Earth Day 🌍

“It would be presumptuous, and out of tune with this occasion, to attempt a definition of Ansel, or an assessment of his place in art, or anything so solemn. It would be equally out of tune to eulogize him. I only want to celebrate him—what he meant to me, how he affected my thinking and my conduct and especially my spirits.

“He enlarged and enhanced life, and he was all of a piece. In his person, in his art, in his reverence for nature and his affection for people, in his long and often headlong advocacy of honorable causes, in his hatred of crookedness, deviousness, dishonesty and irresponsibility, and in his steadfast belief in the human potential for dignity and even nobility, he forced us upward, never downward.

“He woke up dead rooms, he lifted slow pulses, he stiffened sagging spines. Full of laughter and high spirits, in love with word-play and the play of ideas, he never telephoned without a new joke, and rarely wrote so much as a postcard without a jingle or limerick to lighten it. That joviality covered, but could not mask, the solidity and strength of real principles and immovable integrity. A rock is not less granite because sunlight plays across it…

“Ansel’s mind and vision, his reverence, his delicacy and strength, his granite and the sunlight that played on it and the grave shadows it sheltered will have power to move and enhance and enlarge us as long as walls exist for photographs to hang on and the culture retains the skill to print from negatives. He has left us both scores and performances, and therefore himself. He is not a man to be merely remembered. He is here. We have him.” — Wallace Stegner

Spring Update
I’d like to update you all on Doug Cummelin Photography plans for 2026.
After making it through the 2025 Summer Art Fair season (well mostly). We've decided that this year is going to be what the sports world refer's to as a rebuilding year except we're rebuilding Doug this year!
It began with the first of two total hip replacement surgeries (que Bionic Man music). I’m recovering from my first one which I had in January. My next hip is scheduled for July (unless they have an opening sooner, I'm ready!), and finishing with a spinal decompression surgery as soon as the second hip is healed.
As a result, we have decided that participating in art fairs this year is just not in the the cards. Hopefully, after all is said and done, I'll be able to get back into the woods hiking and photographing Mother Nature. Of course, my nature photography is all still available for purchase and can be ordered over the phone or by email.
I’m also expanding my custom printing services. If you’ve got images from your travels or family photos etc. that you’d like made into a Canvas Gallery Wrap the process is easy. You can email me a digital image or if needed I can scan original negatives or paper pictures. You can indicate the size you’re interested in and I’ll confirm that the size and quality will work before printing. All produced to the same quality standards you've come to expect from Doug Cummelin Photography.
If you are a fellow artist, I also offer reproduction services including copy shots with test prints to match the original art work. Whether you’re painting with acrylics, oils or water colors we offer different print surfaces, including several grades of cotton rag paper, as well as canvas or a traditional photo paper surface.
If you are a 3D artist (sculptures, jewelry, ceramics, glass or mixed media etc.) or if you have a Widget you need photographed I’m also available for photo shoots of your products/art.
To place and order, send an image for printing, or if you just have a question please feel free to email me at [email protected]
OR call me at (612) 636-5600.
I hope you all have a happy healthy 2026!!
Doug Cummelin
