The paperback version of Ansel Adams | New Landscapes is now on the shelves at Quimby’s ( 1854 W. North Ave. Chicago, IL  60622 ), the Windy City’s venerable home for offbeat publications and whatnot.

Their blog included a nice send-up in their “New Stuff This Week” post:

Ansel Adams New Landscapes by Luke Strosnider $25.00 – OK so like, there’s this photography thing called a histogram that measures the levels of things in a photo and sometimes if the histogram is perfectly symmetrical, it looks like a mountain, right? So Ansel Adams’ works are perfectly symmetrical in their histograms which mean they’re really boring composed formulaic photos. So like, you know, this is a book of mountanous histograms to show how you know, Ansel Adams is like, y’know, really square. Photography industry humor! Hilarious!

Uh, thanks … hilarious indeed!
