Ansel Adams


February 20, 1902 - April 22, 1984

Noted for his black-and-white photographs of the American West (nature)

The Tetons and the Snake River

Winter Sunrise

Moonrise

His father taught him the importance of the values of Ralph Waldo Emerson (modesty, morality, responsibility to both man and nature)
President Jimmy Carter commissioned Adams to make the first presidential portrait made by a photograph

Rating: *****
There's no wonder why he is one of the most highly acclaimed photographers - his work is stunning!
