The exhibition showcases several prints of the same image to demonstrate how the photographer often created multiple interpretations of the same photograph, even titling the same image differently, depending on the feeling they invoked.

These varying interpretations of the same image were designed to express his creative vision.

Not unlike photographers today, who use digital manipulation to define and redefine their works and style, he revised many of his photographs to fit the expression he wanted to convey. Thus, he created several prints from one negative. A very different process, in fact, it is a fine art that has been lost on many photographers of this era. However, Ansel Adams manipulated his original image long before digital photography and post production became a regular pastime.
