What now for one of the world’s great independent research libraries? As The Huntington embarks on its second century, Library curators have reflected on the legacy and future of its collecting. “What Now: Collecting for the Library in the 21st Century,” an exhibition in two parts, is their Centennial offering to illuminate The Huntington’s ongoing role in documenting the human experience in support of research and education. All materials on view were acquired in the 21st century, with the majority entering the collections in the last 10 years. This is the first time that they have been on public display at The Huntington.

Ray left a photographic archive of over 50,000 4”x5” negatives along with many prints, but most importantly he left a lasting impression on those whom he met and those who were friends. Ray approached his art in the same manner in which he approached life: calmly, thoughtfully and quietly. At times the images he cre- ated were grand and bold, much in the tradition of other great West Coast pho- tographers such as Ansel Adams but perhaps he is best remembered for the subtle and elegant way he caught light to reveal the magic of the smaller, more intimate spaces. Even his work in large industrial areas such as the Uniroyal Tire Factory in Los Angeles have a certain peaceful quality to them, very much like Ray himself.

  • Hunt's Mesa and the Monument Valley Region
    Hunt's Mesa and The Monument Valley Region Location: Southeastern Utah and Northeastern Arizona Dates: May 13 to 18, 2012 Workshop Tuition: $ 1,350 This workshop will take place mainly in areas that most people that have been to Monument Valley have not explored and have only seen from a distance, often not realizing the amazing visual possibilities that exist beyond the the areas they have experienced. We will begin the workshop in Bluff, Utah and end in Kayenta, Arizona. At the beginning of the workshop in Bluff, we will have most of our indoor sessions and visit some less often visited ruin sites. When we move south, the final days will be spent almost entirely photographing on tours especially designed to met our photographic desires and using the knowledge and experiences gained in the Bluff area. One of the highlights of the workshop will be an overnight trip with Navajo guides over a very rough four-wheel drive road to the top of Hunts Mesa, an area to the south of what most people consider to be the heart of Monument Valley. This high mesa looks down on Monument Valley where most people have taken pictures of widely known rock formations, in a manner that almost resembles an aerial photograph and encompasses the distant landscape well beyond where most people have traveled. This new perspective from the edge of Hunt_s Mesa will offer many different and exciting possibilities for the grand landscape with only a very short walking distance from the vehicle to the rim. Those that want to walk along the rim, will experience additional exciting viewpoints with differing relationships between close and distant formations.
