I Know What Love Is

February 14, 2012

My friend Chelito sent me a link to this beautiful letter last week found on Letters of Note.  It was written by Ansel Adams in 1937 and sent to his best friend Cedric Wright after Adams had recuperated from a nervous breakdown in 1936.  I thought it would be appropriate for Valentine’s Day, as it is such a unique expression of love. Hope all of you have a Happy Valentine’s Day!
