Robert Adams, Kerstin Enjoying the Wind, 

East of Keota, Colorado, 1969. 

As recently reported by Carol Vogel in the NY Times,

Adams has selected 169 prints from his personal 

collection, covering the span of his career, for acquisition 

by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.

2. Every time I start thinking about paring down my 7-day subscription to the Times, I get the Friday arts section and change my mind.
