Adams' book about the taking and making of 40 of his images contains an
interesting write up about his Moonrise photo taken in New Mexico. Seems
that Adams did not keep a record of the day, week, month, or year of the
image and had to hire an astronomer years after the fact to date the image.
Some day in Ocotober 1941 was the astronomer's estimation although Adams has
originally opined that the image could have been taken up to as late as
1945. He might have been a great artist but his admin / organization skills
must have been lousy!
