Photography and mixology...
Group f/64 was created in 1932 by a circle of photographers espousing a common philosophy. The original membership consisted of:
Ansel Adams
Imogen Cunningham
Willard Van Dyke
John Paul Edwards
Consuelo Kanaga
Sonya Noskowiak
Henry Swift
Edward Weston
The term f/64 refers to the smallest aperture setting on a large format camera, which secures maximum depth of field, rendering a photograph evenly sharp from foreground to background. This corresponds to the ideal of straight photography which the group espoused in response to the pictorialist methods that were in fashion at the time.
