I'm dating this image was printed in the early 1990's by the photographer's stamp on the back, most likely taken in the 1980's.

GALLERY GONE WILD PRICING
*****
Jeff Nixon (1952-2022) began photographing in the late 1960's, and by the end of the
millennium had acquired an impressive list of credentials; many years as a year-round resident of Yosemite Valley, noted instructor in the techniques of black and
white photography which he gleaned from his years of working with Ansel Adams,
and learning the Zone System from the Master himself. Jeff had been an
instructor for two California Junior Colleges, Modesto and Columbia, has
led Extension Courses for UC Santa Cruz and UC Berkeley, and taught and
lectured in numerous seminars and classes.
Jeff taught workshops and had many showings nationwide, working with Morley Baer, Chris Rainier, Rod
Dresser, and John Sexton as either field or darkroom assistant. He was also the
Production and Research Assistant for the Ansel Adams Publishing Rights Trust,
Carmel Highlands, from 1990 to 1995.
Jeff made the Monterey Peninsula his home, finding great inspiration and
subject matter to keep his photography energized. Jeff’s work is represented in a
number of Private Collections, as well as several Museums and Galleries, such
as the Levin Gallery in Monterey. Jeff was very active with his own
photography up until his death in August of 2022, and has found great assistance through his business
contacts and contemporaries. His work had branched out to include various
forms of Commercial Work, Interior Design, and Product Photography.
Hopefully you will agree with the words of Virginia Adams from 1993..."I have had the great pleasure of recently viewing a portfolio of photographs by
Jeff Nixon. I found his work very satisfying . Jeff has been a friend of mine, and
was of Ansel’s, for many years. Jeff has a marvelous eye, and combines that
with excellent craftsmanship. I highly recommend Jeff’s photographs! I know they
will provide you with a true sense of the Sierra… a defined sense of place!”.... Virginia Adams,

WHAT IS "GALLERY GONE WILD PRICING"?
I've recently turned 70 and been thinking a lot about what a great life I've had, and to have made it this far. Will I still be selling photographs 30 years from now, God only knows, but it's doubtful. Will I be selling over the next 10 years, I'm hopeful. In the coming months I plan to redo my website, add many more photographs to my two Etsy stores, and sell sell sell lots and lots here on eBay.
