Founded by Ansel Adams and then-UA President John Schaefer in 1975, the Center for Creative Photography started as a repository for the works of five master photographers, including Adams.
Today, it is the global nerve center for researchers and teachers of the art form, with 5 million archival objects, including letters, journals, negatives and, of course, cameras.
What’s in it for the point-and-shoot photographer? Admission is free, for one thing. And you might leave the center with a sharper eye for detail and see the world in new ways. “The Pure Products of America Go Crazy” exhibit opens Saturday. Make an appointment (621-0050) to delve into the archives.
