To honor Ansel Adams, the famous landscape photographer, Ms. Leibovitz took a picture of his darkroom. Ansel Adams was known for his photography of the wilderness in the American West. He was also a leader in the nature conservation movement. He died in nineteen eighty-four.
Annie Leibovitz also took photos similar to his pictures of Yosemite Valley in California.
ANNIE LEIBOVITZ: "The best homage you can make was photographing that valley that he saved."
The "Pilgrimage" exhibit at the Smithsonian American Art Museum continues through May twentieth.
(MUSIC)
JUNE SIMMS: American roots music is the collective name for traditional forms like old-time country, blues and folk music. Some of the best-remembered roots musicians include men like Lead Belly, Muddy Waters and Doc Watson. Now, a woman in the Pacific Northwest is trying to get people to think more about female roots musicians.
On a recent day, Dyann Arthur and her husband, Rick, were at the Old-Time Music Gathering in Portland, Oregon. She walked around the performance hall and compared the numbers of male and female players in different groups.
DYANN ARTHUR: "This one's pretty well integrated, and then there are some of them that are primarily the guys."
Ms. Arthur plays piano and guitar but earned her living from mortgage loan banking. She recently retired. So did her husband, a pilot. They talked a lot about what they would do in their retirement. They wanted something meaningful that combined music and travel.
