Famed nature photographer Ansel Adams would have been 115 this year. 

The Center for Creative Photography, 1030 N. Olive Road on the UA campus, will honor that fact with some cake, a lecture and a print viewing this Saturday.

According to the Facebook page: Chief Curator Becky Senf will present a look at Adams’ life through her favorite pieces in the Center’s archives at 2 p.m. For those looking to dive deeper into the archives, Leslie Squyres, Head of Volkerding Study Center, will offer small-group tours of the Adams drawers in the From the Vault exhibition (space is limited, please sign up at the check-in table the day of the event to reserve your spot). Guests can also enjoy a very special Adams print viewing and experience the artist’s work up close and unframed. There will also be vintage cameras on display, Adams books to peruse, and cake!
