On Tuesday I posted a note about the corrected dating of an Ansel Adams photo taken in Yosemite. Robert Pearce posted a note today pointing out that this has happened before:

This isn’t the first time this has been done. In Ansel Adams’
book “An Autobiography,” in the chapter on Nation Parks he discusses another date
correction done I’m assuming in the late 1970’s. Adams
had misdated MOONRISE for many years, labeling it 1941, 1942, 1943, and 1944.
Dr. David Elmore computed the actual date to be October 31, 1941, between 4:00
and 4:05P.M.

Technology is amazing.

It is reassuring to know that I’m not the only one who can’t keep dates straight!
