The Ansel Adams Gallery has been in business under the same family ownership since 1902. What started as a painter’s studio is now a destination for photographers and aficionados of Ansel Adams worldwide. Matthew Adams, grandson of Ansel Adams and president of the company, is part of the fourth generation to be running the business and is a specialist in the work of Ansel Adams.
Considered America’s premier sparkling wine producer, Mumm Napa offers one of the finest tasting experiences in the Napa Valley. A winery noted for its friendly staff and outstanding sparkling wines, it also offers its guests outstanding displays of fine art photography showcasing established masters along with talented new photographers. As part of its ongoing commitment to fine art photography, Mumm Napa’s "Private Collection" Gallery features 30 original photographs by the legendary landscape photographer Ansel Adams.
The mission of Blue Earth is to raise awareness about endangered cultures, threatened environments and social concerns through photography. By supporting the power of photographic storytelling, they motivate society to make positive change. Blue Earth works closely with sponsored photographers to offer resources and support including non-profit, fiscal sponsorship for fundraising; grant-writing consultation; marketing and PR expertise; contacts for publishers, galleries, and museums; and other assistance.
