In images such as this, the influence of Ansel Adams and the other members of the group f.64 is clearly evident. The group f.64 was intent on truth in the medium of photography, wanting to push the camera to see even more clearly than the human eye. To do this, they used the small aperture, marked by the f-stop 64, which allows the camera to have an expansive depth of field. In this image, the earthy and sensuous textures of the brick and stone walls stand in direct contrast to the clean lines and graphic finish of the Route 66 sign. Ferderbar's mastery of the camera as an instrument brings out these contrasts following the legacies of the earlier American masters. 10 x 8 inches, image 13.75 x 11.5 inches, sheet 16.13 x 13.88 inches, frame Signed lower right Framed to conservation standards using archival materials including 100 percent rag matting, Museum Glass to inhibit fading, and housed in a modern profile silver finish wood moulding. ARTIST STATEMENT: I wanted to become a photographer at the age of 12, when my sister Grace gave me a Kodak Box Brownie camera for Christmas. (I still have that camera.) Since our family was quite poor, I built my first enlarger with an oatmeal box, while that same box camera was used as its lens. In 1947, just after graduation from high school, I had the opportunity to travel to California by car and house trailer with my uncle, aunt and mother, and in the process to shoot my first pictures along Route 66. Then, after graduation from college, a stint in the army followed by photography school, I opened an advertising photography studio in 1954. For over four decades my staff and I earned numerous local, regional and national awards for our achievements in photography, including several "best of show" honors. In 1958 I studied with renowned landscape photographer Ansel Adams at his Yosemite National Park workshop. In 1980, while still operating my advertising photography studio, I began a serious photographic study of the decaying artifacts along our country's former Mother Road, Route 66. The former national highway route from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California was not a popular subject at the time, and so I filed away my transparencies, not knowing what I might ever do with them. However, as time passed Route 66 did become a topic of national interest, and upon my retirement in 1997, I once again returned to record the Mother Road's artifacts. A number of my Yosemite series photographs are included in the Ansel and Virginia Adams collection at the Center for Creative Photography at the University of Arizona at Tucson, and several of my Route 66 photographs and other subjects have been acquired by the Milwaukee Art Museum. At this time I am preparing a book of my photographic experiences along Route 66, from 1947 to the present. -Tom Ferderbar
