A number of interesting Ansel Adams-related bits have popped up recently:

• The NYT features an interactive gallery [1] in which Adams's former assistant Andrea Stillman discusses the back story on nine of his images.  The story of the naming of "Mt. Ansel Adams" is particularly cool.
• In what he calls "The most amazing 24 hours of my photo career [2]," photographer Marc Silber trekked around Yosemite with Robert Scoble & Adams's son Michael.  Afterward they visited the photographer's darkroom [3].
• Frederick Johnson from the Lightroom team joined these guys on the visit.  "Michael is amazing," he writes [4].  "Turns out we were both in the Air Force! Though he was a General, and I was an enlisted man. It was hard to fight the impulse to call him 'sir...'"  Frederick posted some photos and short video clips in his Flickr stream [5].  And oh yeah: if you've ever wondered why Photoshop has a lollypop-shaped Dodge Tool (you know, this thing [6]), here's why [7].
