There is little warmth, however, to relieve the glare of what God hath wrought on the great North American continent and what Ansel Adams hath done to drive it all home. The cumulative effect of the Fine Arts exhibit is somewhat akin to that of being dangled over a chasm for several hours. You admire it, but it scares hell...

Adams chooses to portray the bridge in a straightaway perspective with its vanishing point squarely centered: Beetle-like automobiles march toward infinity in formation, as do the landscapes achieve an effect perilously close to the Canyon's rocks...

His daughter Hayley Mills isn't underproductive herself, but she's vivacious enough to get away with it. Remember how she got away with Polyanna, made from the book that was so bad it made the Bobbsey Twins look...
