The Roots of California Photography: The Monterey Legacy, an hour long documentary chronicling the contributions of internationally known Monterey Bay Area photographers who profoundly influenced the world of photography and art, is the culmination of a three-year effort by the Monterey Museum of Art, in association with UCSC Extension.
The film captures the contributions of photographers whose work shaped
thinking not only about photographic style and techniques, but also
art in general. It features Ansel Adams, Wynn and Edna Bullock, and
the Westons—Edward, Brett and Cole—among others, whose work
in the 1920s, '30s and beyond taught the world new ways of seeing everything
from simple everyday objects to California's majestic forests and rugged
coastline.
