The Scurlock Studio

Eric — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 20:14:56 +0000

A friend recently bought Rachel and I “The Scurlock Studio and Black Washington: Picturing the Promise” and I have to say that it is an absolutely beautiful book.

Addison N. Scurlock is arguably one of the best photographers that DC has ever produced. For me being down the street from where Scurlock’s studio used to be is pretty cool as Scurlock did the bulk of his work in the earlier part of the 20th century oh historic DC.

Scurlock has donated his work to the Smithsonian Institution and is currently on display at the National Museum of American History.

I went to the Ansel Adams exhibit today over at the Corcoran. It was actually a pretty interesting exhibit as it was not exactly what I had expected. Ansel Adams is obviously known for his beautiful and perfectly executed photos of nature but there where a couple of surprises in his shots of New York City, his early work photographing Native Americans in the south west, and some of his commissioned works that included Los Angeles highway.
