San Francisco Chronicle: DatebooK COVER

How Ansel Adams saw UC Santa Cruz

Wednesday, June 10, 2010, San Francisco Chronicle

By Sam Whitling

Feature article and image focused on the two volume book set, “Seeds of Something Different”, and the works of Ansel Adams. Ansel Adams, was the Campus Photographer when the young campus of UC Santa Cruz was just forming.  “Already one of the most famous photographers in the world, Adams had come to Santa Cruz on assignment…” Ansel Adams photographs grace the book cover and throughout the book collection, telling the story through visual imagery of this beautiful meadow and redwood tree campus with majestic views of the Pacific Ocean. The book –with Ansel Adams images and other gifted photographers–tells the story of how the founders focused on creating a campus to honor this legacy of nature and beauty.
