1) To facilitate construction of the Carmel Photography Museum as a permanent historic repository for photographs from thr Pre-Digital Era and public exhibition space devoted to traditional fine art photography as legendary master photographers, Ansel Adams and Brett Weston both expressed a desire to create during their lifetimes;
2) To award regular grants to working photographers distinguished for their mastery of intuitive, contemplative photographic seeing coupled with impeccable traditional wet darkroom craft;
3) To support multi-media projects and publications at least once every five years about the history of Carmel photography and facilitating scholarly research by contemporary writers and film makers in promoting public awareness of Carmel's unique historic legacy.
If you - or someone you know - would like to be involved in this new non-profit, please contact Carol Williams at the telephone number or email address listed at the bottom. A downtown location is currently available and we are looking for donors to meet the initial operating budget of $50,000 and volunteers to launch the new photography museum ideally within the next six months! Our inaugural exhibition will be The Weston Legacy accompanied by a historic display titled One Hundred Years of Carmel Photography with related publications currently underway. We aim to charge no admission so anyone can freely learn the local history of this art medium. Thank you for supporting the dream voiced by both Ansel Adams and Brett Weston during their lifetimes. Together we can make it happen in 2012.
