Rondal Partridge took this photograph of Ansel Adams while working as his assistant in Yosemite, in the 1930s. This image of Ansel was taken with Ansel's camera as he stood in front of Rondal's large-format camera. This negative was recently rediscovered in the Ansel Adams archives and credited to Rondal in Ansel's own handwriting on the negative sleeve. This image was the centerpiece of the Ansel Adams Centennial show and celebration.

This platinum/palladium image was printed by Rondal in May 2002 and is number 43 of an edition of 100 prints. This platinum/palladium print reveals the hand applied emulsion on the edges of the print and contains printing notes. This print is hinge mounted on 14 x 18 in 100% archival cotton rag board. The print bears a hand signed Hillcrest Court Rondal Partridge Label and also has Ron's signature in the lower left corner of the print.

Flag Flower is a continuation in Ron’s series of flora and fauna. This image was captured utilizing natural lighting accentuating the luminosity and contrast of this striking image.

Ron photographs with the intention of printing in platinum, making a dense negative. After processing the negative, he makes an internegative that is the final size of the print. This print is hinge mounted on 14 in x 11 in backboard with Ron’s signature and printing notes.
