Ansel Adams
For my photographer of the week I decided to present Ansel Adams. His black and white shots of different parks in the west are dramatic and they tell a story. Ansel was born in 1902, in his early life he taught himself the piano. In 1916 during a trip to Yellowstone National park he started experimenting with photography.
Ansel's career jump-started when his famous print "Monolith, the Face of Halfdome" was published in the Parmelian prints of the High Sierras. Ansel Adams used his amazing landscape shots to promote environmental change and awareness for the parks that he shot in. During the 1960s his photographs started to became recognized as fine art and being presented in museums and art galleries. Ansel Adams' work can be viewed in http://www.anseladams.com/
