Moon Rise over Hernandez was on public display about 8 weeks ago. Both
the origalnal print and the final one he made some years..  Ansel
liked the later one and I preferred the earlier work print.   Also on
display was the original 8x10 negative, that gave me chills.  As too
viewing the archives, yes the public can view anything by appointment.
 At least that is what I have been told, but never taken advantage.
The Center for Creative Photography is quite a resource here and under
appreciated, it is worth a trip a couple of times a year.
